Senator Budd on Security, Hemp, and Local Business | Winston–Salem News

Senator Ted Budd is keeping busy on the campaign trail and in Congress, spotlighting both national priorities and local pride. He recently toured W.R. Long Inc., a family-run farm equipment maker in Edgecombe County, praising their craftsmanship and commitment to North Carolina’s manufacturing heartland. Meanwhile, he’s pushing hard for key legislative wins before Congress breaks — including the SAVE America Act, confirming presidential nominees, and closing a dangerous “hemp loophole” that could be exposing kids to unregulated substances. With roots in Davie County farming, a background in three House terms, and degrees from Appalachian State, Wake Forest, and Dallas Theological Seminary, Budd blends faith, grit, and policy. Off the Hill, he stays grounded as an assistant scoutmaster and home education board member, raising his three kids in the same county where he grew up — always staying close to the communities he serves.
