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.
I believe that every American should have access to the healthcare that works best for them. That means providing more choices, more pricing transparency, more competition, and more affordable health insurance plans. Obamacare utterly failed on these metrics. Americans were not able to keep their doctor or plan if they liked it, and in millions of cases, costs went up. I will fight for healthcare solutions that give every American options, and I will never support any plan that puts more decision-making in the hands of Washington bureaucrats instead of your doctor.
