Party: Republican
Overview: Incumbent Richard Burr defeated challengers Elaine Marshall (Democrat) and Michael Beitler (Libertarian). One can expect standard conservative voting from Burr. He is for increases in military spending and decreases in international aid, welfare, and the arts. Additionally, Burr is on-record supporting decreases in most taxes.
On the record: “I believe there are three issues that are critical to restoring America’s prosperity — creating jobs through pro-growth policies, tackling our national debt by cutting government spending, and fighting the threat of terrorism. These three core issues will continue to guide and drive my work in the United States Senate.” (From Project Vote Smart)
