• Senator Budd Wraps Second Official 100 County Tour and is Ready to Get Back on the Road (senate.gov) — Chimney Rock and nearby Lake Lure were key stops on Senator Ted Budd's latest 100-county tour, where he and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin met with local leaders about Hurricane Helene recovery gaps and FEMA's response.
