Tonight, Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC) voted for H.R. 7791, the Access to Baby Formula Act, which authorizes regulatory waivers under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) during national emergencies and supply chain shortages.

Rep. Budd also voted for a Republican motion that would have allowed existing federal funds to be used to solve the infant formula shortage.

Rep. Budd said in a statement:

"The current baby formula shortage is unacceptable. Instead of hoarding stockpiles of baby formula at the southern border, the Biden administration should prioritize the needs of the American people first. I was proud to vote to loosen federal restrictions for families to get formula for their infants and prevent future supply chain disruptions. The infant formula shortage is an emergency and is one more consequence of the Biden administration's mismanagement hurting North Carolina families."
