In the fall of 2017 Rep. Ted Budd voted against disaster relief bills to help both Puerto Rico and Houston recover from devastating hurricanes.

However, a few weeks later, he voted in favor of a tax cut of over a trillion dollars that largely favored corporations and the very wealthy.

On Monday, Budd joined 57 other Republicans in the House to vote against a $19 billion bill that will provide funds to flood-ravaged areas in the Midwest as well as Puerto Rico.

Pray that the people of District 13 are never in desperate need of help.
