Alabama will be on display during tonight’s State of the Union address by President Joe Biden.

U.S. Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama will be giving the rebuttal on behalf of the Republican Party after the speech ends.

She is the first woman elected senator from Alabama and, at 42, the youngest Republican woman elected to the Senate.

Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell, a Democrat, is taking three of the foot soldiers from the Selma to Montgomery marches as her guests to the State of the Union. She said in a press release that her choice was especially fitting because the address is falling on the 59th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.
