Today, U.S. Rep Ted Budd (NC-13) released the following statement after voting against H.R. 6800:
"As our country begins to reopen, there are so many actions we could take to help our fellow citizens through the COVID-19 crisis. Sadly, not only has Speaker Pelosi refused to let the House get back to work full-time, she forced a vote on an 1,800-page, one-sided, laundry-list of liberal policy dreams that was crafted in her office with no Republican input and without common sense amendments. This bill was not a serious attempt to govern, it's just a waste of the House's time."
