WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., will serve as co-chair of the newly formed Republican Women’s Caucus, which will focus on amplifying women’s voices in policy decisions.
During an event celebrating Women’s History Month at the White House, Britt announced the new caucus with fellow co-chair U.S. Rep. Kat Cammack, R-FL.
As the youngest Republican woman elected to the Senate, Britt has focused on issues impacting moms and families, such as her bipartisan legislation to tackle the high price of child care.
“(Wednesday) marks a historic opportunity to build on the coalition President Trump built last November, and to address critical issues – from prosperity and opportunity, to safety and security – impacting our families and our future,” Britt said in a statement.
“The Republican Women’s Caucus exemplifies our party’s unwavering commitment to empower women and girls and deliver real results for the American people.”
The caucus will include Republican women from the House and Senate with a platform that argues “American issues are women’s issues.”

During a speech at the White House event, President Donald Trump highlighted his executive order to expand access to in vitro fertilization treatments and mentioned how Britt helped inspire him on the issue. Trump recounted how Britt called him after the Alabama Supreme Court’s ruling giving frozen embryos the same status as children in a wrongful death lawsuit. Clinics in the state suspended IVF services and state lawmakers quickly passed legislation to protect them from prosecution and civil lawsuits.
“She did such a great job,” Trump said about educating him on the issue. “And she said, sir, you have to get on this right away. It’s terrible…
“… I said, so Katie, give me a quick definition, please, educate me in a minute or less. And she did. And I came out totally in favor of what all of these women wanted.”
Britt told Alabama Daily News last month that she was “thrilled” that Trump issued the executive order aimed at making IVF more affordable.
The caucus will support its members’ legislative priorities, amplify the lawmakers for leadership positions and champion the work of Republican women.
