RALEIGH — Longtime political operative, consultant, and presidential appointee Jonathan Felts will serve as Ted Budd’s U.S. Senate transition chairman, the campaign announced Friday.
A native of Davie County, Felts has worked for numerous campaigns in the state and nationally, serving as the White House Political Director under President George W. Bush. He later would serve as an advisor to former Gov. Pat McCrory and is a well-respected consultant in politics, public policy, and executive communications.
“We want to hit the ground running in January and we have a lot of work ahead of us,” said Budd. “We want to get the best folks we can to serve the people of NC in our DC and NC offices and I’ve asked Jonathan Felts to work with my existing team to lead the effort to make that happen. We’re also coordinating with U.S. Senators Thom Tillis and Richard Burr to have the best coverage we can for North Carolinians during this transition and beyond. Our constituents are the top priority for all of us.”
The Budd team has set up an email address for those interested in submitting a resume to work for the senator-elect, jobs *at* tedbudd.com.
