Senate Majority Leader John Thune has appointed Senator Ted Budd to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. This position was previously held by Marco Rubio, who is now serving as Secretary of State.
In addition to his new role, Senator Budd will be part of several other committees during the 119th Congress. These include the Armed Services Committee, Commerce Committee, Small Business Committee, and the Joint Economic Committee.
Expressing his views on this appointment, Senator Budd stated: "I am truly honored to serve on the Senate Intelligence Committee. The United States faces a complex global threat environment. Every day around the world, our intelligence community professionals risk their lives to collect foreign intelligence critical to our national security. At the same time, Americans are rightly concerned about abuses by, and politicization of, intelligence agencies. I am ready to join Chairman Cotton and my colleagues to ensure the intelligence community is focused on providing objective analysis to decision-makers while protecting the privacy and civil liberties of Americans enshrined in our Constitution."
