Two weeks out from the election, Congressman Budd continues to stand by extreme Republicans that are out of step with North Carolina. Today, he is hosting a campaign event with Senator Ted Cruz in Selma, North Carolina.

“It’s no surprise that Congressman Budd is playing host to Ted “Cancun” Cruz, best known for fleeing town during one of Texas’s worst winter storms that left millions of his constituents without power,” said NCDP spokesperson Kate Frauenfelder. “During Budd’s six years in Congress, he’s also abandoned the people of North Carolina, reliably rubber stamping the far-right party line. That’s why Republican extremists in the U.S. Senate like Senator Cruz are flocking to North Carolina to boost his campaign.”
