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.
The men and women of our armed forces have sacrificed more than we can repay. They have been sent to all corners of the globe to defend our way of life to defeat tyranny and terrorists. When they come home, they should be the first people in line when they need help. It is a travesty that so many of our veterans still lack quality healthcare from the VA. I will strive every day to provide more choice and accountability at the VA, so that each and every vet gets the highest standard of care. They deserve nothing less.
