National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) chairman and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) named U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) as an NRSC vice chair on Thursday.

Vice chairs will work with Scott to deliver "unity, transparency, and accountability," according to the NRSC.

"Senate Republicans are ready to get to work! The American people delivered the White House and the Senate majority because we need to secure the border, turn our economy around, and preserve the American Dream for our kids," Britt said. "Fighting alongside President Trump, four years of a Republican Senate majority is critical to fulfilling this mandate. I'm excited to work with Senator Tim Scott to protect and build upon the success we had on November 5."

Scott said he was thankful Britt, U.S. Sen-elect Jim Banks (R-Ind.), and U.S. Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.) and Ted Budd (R-N.C.) stepped up to serve.

"Republicans are united around advancing President Donald J. Trump's agenda and defending our U.S. Senate majority. There is too much at stake to do this alone, so I'm thankful to my colleagues for stepping up to serve as Vice Chairs to the NRSC. Raising the resources, expanding the map, and building the organization to win is going to be an all hands on deck task," he stated.
