Ted Budd Backs ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ to Deliver Tax Cuts and Workforce Training for North Carolina
North Carolina — Senator Ted Budd of North Carolina is throwing his full support behind the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a sweeping Republican-led measure aimed at delivering tax relief, border security, and economic growth.
Budd voted in favor of the legislation this week, saying it offers tangible benefits to North Carolina families, especially in areas like agriculture, education, and defense.
What’s in the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’?
The bill promises to:
-
Deliver historic tax cuts
-
Boost military funding
-
Enforce border security
-
Introduce spending reforms
-
Support workforce development
Budd noted the legislation also includes his own proposal, the PELL Act, which is designed to help Americans pursue in-demand credentials that lead to stable, well-paying jobs.
Support for North Carolina’s Tobacco Industry
Senator Budd emphasized the bill’s commitment to tobacco growers, a significant constituency in North Carolina’s rural economy. He claimed the bill offers protections to help farmers remain competitive with markets in China, a major player in the global tobacco trade.
“The people of North Carolina deserve more of their hard-earned wages, a more secure border, a reinvigorated military, responsible spending reforms for government programs, and a thriving economy,” Budd said in a statement.
Next Steps for the Bill
With Senate approval secured, Budd urged the U.S. House of Representatives to move swiftly.
“Americans cannot afford the largest tax increase in our nation’s history,” he warned, referencing a repeal of Trump-era tax cuts proposed by some Democrats.
