Taylor Heed: Chatham News + Record
PITTSBORO — U.S. Representative Richard Hudson Jr. came to Pittsboro last Wednesday while campaigning to be reelected for his sixth term in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Hudson — a registered Republican representing the 8th district — is seeking North Carolina’s 9th congressional district seat after the 2020 census required the state to redraw its electoral districts and maps. Four of the counties Hudson represents moved into the 9th district, which now includes Chatham.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Rep. Richard Hudson remembers warning Rep. Liz Cheney, minutes before she took the stage at last year’s House GOP retreat, that she would likely get asked whether Donald Trump was still considered the leader of the party.
During the past two sessions of Congress, Democrat Bobby Rush and Republican Richard Hudson introduced legislation together to improve workforce-training programs.
But this year, Rush altered the language of the bill and stripped out a key element: Hudson.
“He reintroduced it, and he’s added all this money to it and didn’t consult me,” the North Carolina Republican said.
