"There is no doubt that President Biden’s failed presidency has made America weaker and more vulnerable at every turn," she added. "At this decisive moment in our country’s history, it’s time for the next generation to step up and preserve the American Dream for our children and our grandchildren."
Johnson praised Britt in a statement as a "champion" for Republican priorities.
"Americans are struggling amid a border catastrophe, crushing inflation, an increasingly dangerous world, and fears about a President not up to the task," he said. "Against this backdrop, Senator Katie Britt will share her incredible story as the first woman elected to the United States Senate from the state of Alabama. As the only current Republican mom of school-aged kids serving in the Senate, Katie is fighting to preserve the American Dream for the next generation. She is a champion for strong families, a secure border, national defense and a vibrant economy with stable prices and opportunities for all."

Britt, who previously served as chief of staff to now-retired GOP Sen. Richard Shelby, and later as president and CEO of the Business Council of Alabama, was born and raised in Enterprise, Alabama.
The Alabama senator endorsed former President Donald Trump in December, writing in a Yellowhammer News op-ed that the "results of his strong leadership as the 45th President of the United States are clear for all to see" after living under the Biden administration's policies.
