Ted Budd is in one of the most critical races for bankers

TED BUDD'S SENATE RACE IS CRITICAL

Our leadership committees of banking leaders from around the nation have determined that Congressman Ted Budd's race for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina is one of the three most important races for bankers to support in 2022.

Rep. Ted Budd

is a proven friend to community bankers

Ted Budd has demonstrated his support for traditional banking from his first day as a member of the House Financial Services Committee. Now he is running for the US Senate where he can have an even greater impact to preserve traditional banking.

"On substance, Ted Budd’s been a solid member of the House Financial Services Committee and has worked closely with us at the NCBA. He’s given numerous speeches on CECL and hosted a Congressional Roundtable on CECL on Capitol Hill with members of Congress, regulatory agency representatives, the NCBA and a handful of regional banks. His first floor speech as a newly sworn-in freshman member of Congress was for the repeal of the Durbin amendment. He’s been a strong advocate of free markets and a strong banking system."

--Peter Gwaltney, Pres & CEO North Carolina Bankers Association

Friends of Traditional Banking is a non-partisan grassroots effort organized by bankers in 2012 to improve the political and regulatory environment for the traditional banking industry in the U.S. FOTB is the inverse of a PAC--instead of spreading a little bit of money to a lot of campaigns, they focus a lot of money on a couple of key campaigns.
