Ted Budd represents North Carolina's 13th Congressional District and is serving his third term in the 117th United States Congress.
Ted brings an outsider’s perspective to Washington, having never held elective office. When an opportunity presented itself after redistricting opened up North Carolina’s 13th Congressional District in 2016, Ted decided to run and bring a businessman’s outlook to our nation’s capital.
Ted sits on the Financial Services Committee, where he uses his real world experience to roll back the restrictive regulations that strangle job creation in our country. Working at a young age on his family’s cattle and chicken farm and for their janitorial and landscaping business, Ted learned the importance of work ethic and common sense decision making. He brings his strong belief in God, family, and country to his job each and every day.
Our country’s $25 trillion debt is unsustainable and unacceptable. Within the next five years, taxpayers will be forced to spend more to service our debt than on national defense. These are scary numbers, and I did not come to Congress to enable Washington’s spending addiction. I’ll find and eliminate areas of wasteful spending because every taxpayer dollar should be treated as sacred. I will continue to fight to make sure America's dangerous fiscal course is reversed.
