Congressman Ted Budd is jetting off to Kentucky for another out of state fundraiser with his D.C. insider buddy Mitch McConnell and embattled Senate candidates Mehmet Oz and Herschel Walker.

“It’s a perfect example of Congressman Budd’s priorities that he is willing to make time for Mitch McConnell and his wealthy donors, but refuses to debate and offer solutions to North Carolina voters,” said NCDP spokesperson Kate Frauenfelder. “In the Senate, Budd and his out of step buddies would be a rubber stamp for Republicans’ extreme agenda that would raise taxes and hike health care costs, and that’s exactly why voters will reject him this November.”

Just yesterday, Budd’s campaign dragged their feet on debates and continues to refuse to meet with North Carolina voters where they are. The News & Observer Editorial Board even asked the question yesterday on everyone’s mind: “Where’s Ted?”
