Katie Britt’s ‘ability to bridge divides’ lands on her ‘most influential rising stars’ list
U.S. Sen. Katie Britt, Alabama’s junior senator, is on a list of one of the most “influential rising stars” in the country.
She’s the only Republican elected official on the TIME 100 Next 2026 list.
“Her ability to bridge divides within the GOP while cultivating bipartisan relationships has made Britt an increasingly consequential player in the Senate,” reporter Nik Popli wrote for TIME.
Britt, a native of Alabama, was elected in 2022 and was the youngest Republican woman ever elected to the Senate.
“I don’t think it’s a stretch at all to say that Alabama has one of America’s most effective U.S. Senators in Katie Britt,” said Nathaniel Ledbetter, Alabama’s speaker of the house.
