Ted Budd Hurts NC
Budd’s record is wrong for North Carolina and out of step with general election voters in North Carolina.
Budd would support raising taxes on the middle class. He recently revealed that he “agreed with the major points” of Senate Republicans’ plan that would raise taxes on 40 percent of North Carolinians. That would mean an average of almost $1,500 less in families’ pockets each year.
When asked his stance on reproductive rights, Ted Budd admitted to fully ban abortion, with zero exceptions – not even for rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother. Previously, he praised the “legal creativity” of the Alabama and Texas abortion bans court cases and reaffirming his commitment to rolling back North Carolinians’ reproductive rights, stating he would “push it all the way back to the point of conception.”
Budd opposed efforts to lower costs, tackle inflation, and get the pandemic under control, opposing the American Rescue Plan and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that provided critical relief for North Carolina small businesses and families, will expand access to high-speed internet, repair and rebuild roads and bridges, create jobs, and more.
Budd has voted against efforts to lower costs for consumers at the gas pump and hold oil companies accountable for price gouging, address the infant formula shortage, and take action on gun violence to create safer communities.
For over a decade, North Carolina Republicans have done damage to our state, passing corporate tax cuts instead of investing in education, undermining public health during the pandemic, cutting unemployment to one of the stingiest in the country, and blocking Medicaid expansion time after time.
