Katie Britt was elected to the United States Senate in 2022 to represent the state of Alabama. Prior to her election to the Senate, Sen. Britt held senior positions in the office of former Alabama Senator Richard Shelby, including press secretary and chief of staff. Sen. Britt also served as president and CEO of the Business Council of Alabama and was the first woman elected to lead the organization. Sen. Britt is also the first woman elected to represent Alabama in the U.S. Senate. Sen. Britt earned both a political science and law degree from the University of Alabama.

                         Why She’s Important to Agents:

Sen. Britt serves on the Senate Committee on Appropriations and the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Development, giving her significant influence over many PIA Policy Priority issues, including the Federal Insurance Office (FIO), National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and cannabis safe harbor. PIA worked closely with Sen. Britt’s office for her introduction of the Insurance Data Protection Act to repeal the FIO’s subpoena authority. This is companion legislation to existing House legislation, both introduced with PIA’s full support.

PIA will continue to work with Sen. Britt to curtail the FIO’s authority.
