With a combination of name recognition, a heavily Republican supporter base and ample funding, Katie Britt is uniquely positioned to enter Congress as a freshman senator with money leftover, said retired political science professor Jess Brown.
in June, Britt received an additional $605,500 in donations to her campaign, putting her most recent total at contributions at $8.7 million. Taking total receipts into account, Britt has raised $8.9 million, coming in about $65 shy of $9 million.
Brown said most freshman senators spend “every penny they’ve got” by the time they win their seat, but Britt may not need to spend as much. Currently, Britt has more than $1 million left available to spend with less than two months til the general election. In addition to a more than $8 million lead over Boyd, Britt has the advantage of a consistently red state. In this year’s primary, out of the 851,684 votes cast, 660,789 were Republican, totaling about 77.5%.office, Republicans have steadily led most elections in the last decade, regardless of voter turnout levels.

The delay dashed the hopes of advocates who had sought prompt action on a bill already passed by the House of Representatives that would ensure protection for same-sex and interracial marriages. The move came after weeks of closed-door talks between a small group of Democratic and Republican senators who looked at ways to amend the House bill in order to attract at least 10 Republican supporters who would join 48 Democrats and two independents.
