An interview with Congressman Ted Budd...

Recently, our very own Brooke Cashion led a conversation with US Congressman Ted Budd that was conducted on behalf of the NC Realtors and the real estate industry. Because of Covid19, we are conducting our national legislative meetings virtually.

It worked very well and there was a large number of attendees on the call but we miss these meetings being in person. Congressman Budd is a fantastic legislator who works hard for his district and the people of NC.

As a small business owner himself and a leader on the Financial Services Committee in Congress, he plays an important role in real estate issues and private property rights. And real estate is a bright spot on the economy and Brooke was working hard on the call to help encourage passage of key legislation which will garner greater economic activity to help get our economy back on the tracks and thankfully Congressman Budd understands this. 

Thankfully, he agreed to become the co-sponsor of an important bill which would allow for electronic notaries. 

Blessed to have...

The Triad is blessed to have many restaurants and great places to grab cup of coffee or a glass of tea, wine or beer. A lot of these are independently owned small businesses. The owners of these small businesses have taken many risks to support the local economy, creating jobs, delivering food and creating an atmosphere of growth for the communities - becoming a place where many locals and tourist alike want to visit.

The Triad Food & Beverage Coalition is working to help get these small businesses opened again and in a safe way. This is a letter written by the owner of The Porch Kitchen and Cantina, Alma Mexicana and Canteen Market & Bistro in downtown Winston-Salem, but she speaks for them all. We are looking forward to a time when these restaurants and businesses are thriving again, where people are conversing and laughing and simply enjoying life and helping to grow our cities and towns. These great restaurants support the quality of life we promote in the areas we serve as #BCA Realtors. We appreciate the risks these companies have taken! Will you join us in thanking these businesses and support there safe and healthy efforts to re-open when the time is right?
