Washington D.C. – Former Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, Ambassador John R. Bolton, announced the John Bolton PAC’s endorsement of Ted Budd for U.S. Senate in North Carolina. Additionally, the John Bolton PAC will contribute $5,000 to his general election campaign. 

Statement by Ambassador John Bolton: 

“Cheri Beasley has gone out of her way to try and make herself look less extreme than she actually is. We already have enough senators whose views do more damage to American security than our enemies ever could. National security issues are important to North Carolina voters, which is why they know the clear choice for a strong and safe America is Ted Budd.” 

Statement by Ted Budd: 

“Ambassador Bolton has a record of being tough on Iran and Cheri Beasley is on the record being soft on Iran. Beasley has been endorsed by the radical, far-left J-Street PAC that does not support Israel, our most important ally in the Middle East. Beasley also believes the Iran Nuclear Deal ‘was a principled example of how diplomacy can work to promote peace and keep military conflict and devastation at bay,’ which is out-of-touch with the realities of the region. I believe in peace through strength and supporting our allies to ensure that America is safe from foreign enemies.”
