.SenKatieBritt has joined LeaderMcConnell's leadership team as an informal adviser, a spokesman for the first-term senator told the dcexaminer on Wednesday.
Speculation about Britt's involvement in leadership emerged on Monday when the freshman Republican was spotted entering McConnell's office for his weekly 5 p.m. strategy meeting with senior advisers. Britt, 41, served as chief of staff to her predecessor, GOP Sen. Richard Shelby, before her 2022 election victory.
McConnell's leadership team includes Senate Majority Whip John Thune , Senate GOP Conference Chairman John Barrasso , Senate GOP Policy Committee Chairwoman Joni Ernst , Republican Conference Vice Chairwoman Shelley Moore Capito , National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Steve Daines , and allies such as Sens. John Cornyn , Chuck Grassley , Roger Wicker , Thom Tillis , and Deb Fischer .
Britt secured an impressive set of committee assignments for a freshman member, including the top Republican spot on the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on homeland security. A first-term lawmaker earning the top spot on any panel is an impressive feat on its own, though Britt gained extensive experience working with the Appropriations Committee from Shelby's tenure as chairman.
In addition to Appropriations, Britt serves alongside McConnell on the exclusive Senate Rules Committee. She also has a seat on the Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee.
