Budd owns a gun store in Rural Hall, North Carolina.[3][4] The father of home-schooled children, he also served as a board member for North Carolinians for Home Education.[11]
Following court-mandated redistricting, the old 13th district essentially merged with the 2nd district. A new 13th district was created, stretching from the northern suburbs of Charlotte to Greensboro. The old 13th district's incumbent, Republican George Holding, opted to run in the 2nd district. Budd ran as one of 17 candidates in the ensuing Republican primary for the 13th district in the 2016 elections.[12] His home had previously been in the 5th district but had been drawn into the 13th district.
With the help of the Club for Growth, which spent over $285,000 on his campaign,[5] Budd won the primary with 20% of the vote.[13][14] He defeated Bruce Davis, a former Guilford Countycommissioner, in the general election with 56.1% of the vote.[15][16] He was sworn into office on January 3, 2017.[17]
On April 23, 2021, Budd went to Mar-a-Lago to discuss his prospective U.S. Senate candidacy with former U.S. President Donald Trump.[28] On April 28, 2021, Budd announced his candidacy for the Class 3 Senate seat held by the retiring Richard Burr.[29] At the Republican state convention in Greenville on June 5, Budd received the endorsements of Donald Trump and Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, who had declined to run for the seat.[30][31] Former North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory said he would remain in the race despite Trump's endorsement. A third declared candidate, U.S. Representative Mark Walker, said he too would stay in the race, maintaining that he had won a straw poll of those attending the convention.[32][33][34][35]
Budd won the Republican primary on May 17, 2022, with 58% of the vote, to McCrory's 25% and Walker's 9%.[36] In the general election, Budd defeated Democratic nominee Cheri Beasley, the former chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court. Budd received 50.5% of the vote to Beasley's 47.3%—a margin of 3.2%.[37]
Senate tenure
At the convening of the 118th Congress on January 3, 2023, Budd was sworn in as North Carolina's junior U.S. Senator.[38] He was one of five new Republican senators to take office that day.[39]
In March 2023, Budd introduced the Seeing Objects at Altitude Regularly Act (SOAR), co-sponsored by Senator Mark Kelly, legislation that would require the Federal Aviation Administration to issue regulations within two years mandating equipping high-altitude balloons operating at 10,000 feet above sea level or higher with tracking systems to transmit location, altitude, and identity.[40] The idea for the bill came after a Chinese-operated balloon crossed over the U.S. the previous month.[41]
After Senator Lindsey Graham introduced legislation that would ban abortion nationwide after 15 weeks of pregnancy,[42] Budd co-sponsored a House version of the bill with over 80 Republicans.[43]
Budd opposes the For the People Act, a Democratic bill intended to expand voting rights. Budd said that the bill undermines election integrity by expanding "no excuse" absentee voting and weakening voter ID requirements. He said that the bill would allow minors to vote. PolitiFact ruled this claim false, as the bill would only allow those under 18 to register to vote. Amendments to the bill that would lower the voting age to 16 failed in both 2019 and 2021.[52]
Foreign policy
In 2020, Budd voted against the National Defense Authorization Act of 2021, which would prevent the president from withdrawing soldiers from Afghanistan without congressional approval.[53]
In 2021, Budd was one of 14 Republican representatives to vote against a measure condemning the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état.[54] In 2024, he visited Israel as a show of support after the Hamas-led attacks of October 7, 2023.[55]
Budd met his wife, Amy Kate Adams, on a mission to the Soviet Union in 1991.[4] They married in 1994 and have three children.[10] The Budds live in Davie County on the farm where Budd was raised.[4] They home-school their children and Budd serves as an assistant scoutmaster in his son's Boy Scout troop.[11]
