Small town girl seeks big time office: Britt campaigns in Tallapoosa County seeking votes in the US Senate race

Katie Britt has never held a political office, but she is no stranger to politics — even Washington D.C. politics.

Britt is seeking to replace Alabama’s senior U.S. Senator Richard Shelby. She vows to remember her small town roots of Enterprise and Coffee County and never back down from her values if elected.
