Need some discussion on article improvements[edit]

After reading through the article revision history, I see lots of revisions and the lack of "talk" is curious. --Wikipietime (talk) 13:07, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The term "gerrymandered" might should appear in the article; as it once did;

" ..nomination for the heavily gerrymandered 13th district seat in the United State..."

--Wikipietime (talk) 13:22, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Might be a good source of citable content; http://www.wbtv.com/story/36072065/congressman-budd-has-first-bill-signed-into-law

Sure. That's worth adding. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:38, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of Ted Budds $10 million PPP to family business The Budd Group[edit]

No mention in wiki of $10 million PPP made to his family business The Budd Group 2602:304:ABB8:DF19:8198:E5DA:7116:171E (talk) 16:02, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Got a source for that? – Muboshgu (talk) 16:48, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article is biased and not telling the whole story[edit]

I would really appreciate it Wikipedia would allow balanced conversation instead of grievances from the Democrat Party faithful to overwhelm pages like this one. Ted Budd has accomplished more during his House tenure then simply 'playing hookie to go CPAC'. I tried editing it to add some context - over 290 house members voted during an absence during COVID. I even added several bills he signed off on while in the House. I am not asking for anything special or to publish my opinions, but this makes Wikipedia look like an unfair source of information.
