About
Elected: 2022 (first term; former House Freedom Caucus member)
- Background: Firearms-business owner
- Committees: Foreign Relations, Armed Services, HELP
- State: Ukrainian American community around Charlotte and Fort Bragg military communities with direct Ukraine ties through U.S. Army Special Operations
Bio Ted Budd is one of the more skeptical Republican voices on Ukraine despite his seat on the Foreign Relations Committee. He voted against the 2024 fiscal year Ukraine aid bill.
Ukraine Record
- Voted NO on the 2024 fiscal year Ukraine aid bill
- Supported narrower defense packages
- Not signed onto any UAPortal-tracked bills
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Sign onto the SHADOW Fleet Sanctions (S. 2904), which targets Russia's oil tanker network used to evade sanctions. This is a conservative-friendly sanctions bill.
- Why it works with them: Fort Bragg is deeply connected to Ukrainian military training through U.S. Army Special Operations. The Freedom First Lend-Lease Act (H.R. 1158) also fits his view that Europe should pay more.
- Your connection: Mention the Ukrainian American families around Charlotte and the Fort Bragg connection to Ukraine.
- Avoid: Broad aid asks. Stick to sanctions enforcement and lend-lease framing.
Without this bill, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who fled the war and built lives in the U.S. face deportation back to an active war zone. This is the single most urgent protection for Ukrainians in America.

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], a constituent from [YOUR CITY/ZIP]. I'm calling to urge Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] to cosponsor H.R. 3104, the Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2025. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fled Russia's invasion and are now living in the U.S. on temporary status. They cannot safely return to an active war zone. H.R. 3104 gives them a path to permanent residency. It's bipartisan, it's targeted, and it's the right thing to do. Will Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] cosponsor H.R. 3104? Thank you.
