Senator Ted Budd Joins Intelligence Committee

Washington, D.C. — Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has named Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) to serve on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, filling the seat previously held by now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

During the 119th Congress, Senator Budd will also serve on the Armed Services Committee, Commerce Committee, Small Business Committee, and the Joint Economic Committee. 

Sen. Budd said in a statement: 

“I am truly honored to serve on the Senate Intelligence Committee. The United States faces a complex global threat environment. Every day around the world, our intelligence community professionals risk their lives to collect foreign intelligence critical to our national security. At the same time, Americans are rightly concerned about abuses by, and politicization of, intelligence agencies. I am ready to join Chairman Cotton and my colleagues to ensure the intelligence community is focused on providing objective analysis to decision-makers, while protecting the privacy and civil liberties of Americans enshrined in our Constitution.”
