Shelby Ready to Spend Big on Race to Replace Him

Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) “is preparing to pour as much as $6 million into the race by transferring his campaign coffers into a super PAC supporting Katie Britt, a former Shelby aide who is running for the Senate seat,” Politico reports.

“She’s locked in a three-way battle with a stumbling Brooks (R-AL) and surging Army veteran Mike Durant, and Shelby confirmed in an interview he’ll do what it takes to ensure that Britt emerges from the May primary with a place in a runoff.”
