FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Conservative Republican activist Joe Budd is running for Congress, hoping to pick up a Broward-Palm Beach county district held for decades by Democrats.
Budd hasn’t yet made a splashy public announcement, but his intentions are clear.
“I’m Joe Budd. I’m going to be your next congressman in District 23,” Budd said Saturday in a video posted to his Joe Budd for Congress Facebook page. (The sleeve of his shirt proclaimed, “This Budd’s For You.”)
