Britt ran for Senate in 2022.  The primary race featured six candidates; she and [[Mo Brooks]] (a US Representative) faced off in a runoff which she won.  She was endorsed by then former President [[Donald Trump]], former White House Press Secretary [[Sarah Huckabee Sanders]], and numerous Senators and Representatives at the federal and state level, along with a considerable number of business organizations.  The general election (as expected, given Alabama is a strongly Republican state) was not close, with Britt nearly winning 2/3 of the vote.
