Hudson receives conservative award

Rep. Richard Hudson, R-Concord, received an award this week from a well-known conservative advocacy organization.

Hudson, who represents the 8th Congressional District, received the American Conservative Union’s Conservative Achievement Award for the fourth-consecutive year. Hudson has a lifetime rating of 91.71 from the American Conservative Union. In 2016, he received a rating of 96.

“I’m honored to accept this award for my work to defend our Constitution and uphold conservative principles that make our country strong,” Hudson said. “As one of the leading conservatives in Congress, I will continue to fight to preserve our freedoms, promote job creation, rein in Washington’s overreach and secure our nation.”
