Common Ground Scorecard for Ted Budd

U.S. Senate

Ted Budd (NC - R)

Compare

[Running for Senate.] Ted Budd, a Christian conservative and gun shop owner who lives on a family farm, portrays himself as a Washington outsider and “liberal agenda crusher” pressing for a smaller role for the federal government. Budd was elected to Congress the same year Donald Trump was elected president, and he indicated his Senate campaign would be predicated in part on his backing of the former president’s policies and anti-Washington rhetoric.
