I am confident she will take decisive action to combat the fentanyl and opioid crisis, prevent human trafficking, crack down on violent crime, and implement President Trump’s Agenda to Make America Safe Again. Under her outstanding leadership, a safer, stronger future is ahead for Alabamians and families in every corner of our state and nation.”

Senator Britt’s first vote as a member of the Judiciary Committee was in support of Bondi’s nomination. After the vote,Senator Britt said, “Pam Bondi is exactly who America needs leading the Department of Justice. She is committed to the rule of law and to returning blind justice to a department that has too often weaponized its power in recent years.”
