Fighting for American Values

Senator Ted Budd has been a consistent and commonsense champion for the policies that Stronger Nation Fund advocates for.

He was an early and vocal advocate for the tax cuts in 2017 and 2025 which delivered meaningful tax relief to hardworking Americans and supercharged economic growth. He's been a steadfast defender of the Second Amendment and border security, understanding that a sovereign nation must control who and what crosses its borders.

He strongly supports law enforcement and has repeatedly backed increased funding for local police departments. On the world stage, Budd has never wavered in standing up to China, Russia, and radical Islamic terrorism, ensuring America projects strength rather than weakness.

Closer to home, Senator Budd has been a tireless advocate for the sanctity of life, religious freedom, and parental rights in education — believing firmly that parents, not government bureaucrats, should decide how and where their children are raised and taught.

His Story

A Proud North Carolinian

Ted Budd is a proud North Carolinian who grew up on a cattle and commercial chicken farm in Davie County, shaped from an early age by faith, hard work, and entrepreneurial spirit. A graduate of Appalachian State University, Dallas Theological Seminary, and Wake Forest University, Senator Budd brings a rare combination of theological grounding and business acumen to the U.S. Senate.

Before ever seeking public office, Budd built a career in the private sector, most notably reviving a bankrupt gun range that became a thriving community resource. That outsider perspective drove his 2016 election to Congress, where he quickly established himself as a dependable conservative voice for North Carolina's working families. After three terms in the House, North Carolinians sent him to the Senate in 2022.
