Ted Budd: “The FAA's regulations are leaving them behind.”

He has been a fighter for the people of Western North Carolina as they work to recover from the impacts of Hurricane Helene, and I know he’ll continue to advocate for disaster funding for the remainder of his time in D.C.

Every time I’m in WNC, people ask me to make sure that they’re not forgotten. I’d ask my colleagues in Washington and Raleigh to send them a clear message that we’re with them by passing additional funding for disaster recovery,

Nearly two years since Hurricane Helene ravaged our state, debris still clogs waterways.

By ensuring that the FAA prioritizes the certification of novel aircraft like eVTOLs, we can quickly incorporate innovative technology into the National Airspace System.
