Britt said she's looking to take what she learned on the campaign trail and implement it through her official Senate capacity, saying that she hopes to help those who fear for the future, particularly younger generations.
"We're at a critical juncture where we may, for the first time, be leaving my children with less freedoms and less opportunities than I had," Britt said. "We need to figure out, you know, how we can do an even better job communicating our policies and our positions to even more people."
