He’s In!
The worst kept secret in North Carolina politics is now out in the open. Congressman Ted Budd (R) will be seeking North Carolina’s vacant US Senate seat in 2022. He announced his intentions this morning to supporters and key media outlets.
Budd, from Davie County, was first elected in 2016 by winning a 17-member GOP primary. He’s maintained a respectable conservative record that’s earned him little – if any- criticism from us. Budd’s announcement was quickly followed up with an endorsement by The Club For Growth — a PAC that seeks out and backs fiscal conservatives.
Budd’s move puts him in a head-to-head primary matchup with his former colleague “Public Official A” (aka Mark Walker of Greensboro).
For conservatives who were bemoaning Walker as their only choice, Budd’s entry into the race provides them with someone to proudly vote FOR. Barring entry by anyone named Trump, THIS appears to be our candidate for 2022.
Hopefully he will make it through to the race so I will have someone to vote for against that moron Beasley. As far as the other people entering the race, I would stay at home for any of them.
Ted Budd is the only announced major candidate with the backbone to stand up to the “woke” cancel culture. Weak-kneed Mark Walker voted for a Pelosi bill to change the name of Fort Bragg and other military bases named for Confederate officers, and for another Pelosi bill to remove monuments from the Capitol to anyone who served in a position under the Confederate government. Ted Budd stood up for our heritage by opposing both of those Pelosi bills. Pat McCrory tried to end the Sons of Confederate Veterans license plates until Senator Phil Berger stood up to him. In the age of the cancel culture, we do not need cowards like Walker or McCrory who get their panties in a twist at the demand of the woke mob. We need a proud patriot like Ted Budd who will stand up for us..
Anybody but McCrory.
Only Senate candidate I’ve been excited to vote for since Jesse Helms!
