Gray Stone Day School sent 104 graduates from eight surrounding counties toward life’s next chapter at Friday night’s commencement.
“You’re no longer the boys and girls that entered this school, you are the men and women ready to make your mark on the world,” said U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson, NC-08, who served as this year’s commencement speaker.
A key to their continued success depends on their relationships with other people.
“Relationships depend on the ability to communicate,” Hudson said.
Just like the past 30 years, future development and facility upgrades at the Stanly County Airport will greatly depend on the influence of the N.C. Air National Guard.
As the Air Guard evolves, so does the county’s airport. The 145th Tactical Airlift of the Air National Guard (ANG) is transitioning its use of the C-130 to the C-17, both considered aircraft workhorses with the latter more powerful and versatile. ANG’s transition between aircraft will likely mean Stanly’s airport adapt with more upgrades to accommodate training with the C-17.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (R-NC), co-chair of the Pediatric Trauma Caucus and a leader on the Energy and Commerce’s Health Subcommittee, applauded President Donald Trump for signing the bipartisan Childhood Cancer Survivorship, Treatment, Access, and Research (STAR) Act (S. 292).
“America’s children are our future,” Hudson said. “And this is another important step to help deliver hope and cures to young patients and their families.”
A bipartisan bill passed by Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump last week will provide more resources to find treatment and cures for childhood cancer.
The Childhood Cancer STAR Act is designed to help advance both research and treatments for pediatric cancer. “America’s children are our future, and this is another important step to help deliver hope and cures to young patients and their families,” said U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson, R-8th and a co-chairman of the congressional Pediatric Trauma Caucus.

It’s a set of major improvements to the way we care for America’s veterans—increasing their choices and expanding access to care for those who’ve sacrificed to serve.”
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA): “Together, we are transforming the VA into a more transparent, efficient, and accountable institution. #VAMISSIONAct”
Congressman, Richard Hudson, recently toured the Southern Pines Brewing Company and the Heritage Flag Company in Southern Pines. Hudson was there to learn more about their operations and discuss the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
“Because of their passion and hard work, these small businesses already make a huge impact on our economy,” said Hudson. “The Heritage Flag Company is doing tremendous things in our community and puts new meaning behind American made.”
Last week’s announced Opportunity Zones by the U.S. Treasury translates into another boost for the Albemarle Business Center (ABC) and those companies that invest in the project. A swath of property in Stanly County and part of Albemarle where the 282-acre ABC site lies is in one of the 252 areas in North Carolina certified as an official Opportunity Zone by the federal government.
U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson (NC-08) championed the efforts as necessary for successful economic development in distressed areas.
The U.S. senator and congressman had a roundtable meeting with local executives and business owners.
Continued economic growth over the next decade should more than make up for new debt that the Trump tax cuts created, U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis and U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson said during a roundtable discussion at the Great Fayetteville Chamber on Wednesday afternoon.
