Katie Britt, U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks in Alabama Senate runoff
Source: Associated Press
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) Alabamas Republican primary for U.S. Senate is going to a June runoff between Katie Britt and U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks, who overcame losing former President Donald Trumps endorsement to remain a contender for the GOP nomination.
The candidates are seeking the Senate seat now held by U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby, who is retiring. Britt is Shelbys former chief of staff and the former leader of the Business Council of Alabama. Brooks is a six-term congressman from north Alabama.
The two edged out Mike Durant, a businessman best known as the helicopter pilot shot down and held captive in the events chronicled in Black Hawk Down, to advance to a June 21 runoff, which is required when no candidate captures more than 50% of the initial vote.
It is clear tonight that Alabamians want new blood. They want someone to go to Washington, D.C., and shake it up. It is clear that they want a true Christian conservative Republican who will lead on the America first agenda and doesnt just talk about it but knows how to actually get something done, Britt told supporters gathered in Montgomery.
