Katie Britt is a bright new face in Alabama Senate race

MOBILE, Alabama — There’s a new U.S. Senate candidate in Alabama, Katie Boyd Britt, who is a political consultant’s dream. In the next year, we’ll see if she can ride the winds of, or perhaps transcend, the new, Trump-ized political culture.

Britt was here in this coastal city June 25 for the second time already since announcing for the Senate just 17 days earlier, after energetically traversing this territorially substantial state from corner to corner several times — all while also in the midst of two out-of-state trips driving her children, rising sixth and seventh graders, to out of state athletic events and “Christian-based” summer camps.
