Congressman Richard Hudson (R-NC) caught the political bug early. He remembers standing in front of the local fire station on Election Day campaigning with his Grandfather who served for over 30 years on the City Council. Rep. Hudson had a unique combination of business skills and public service in different capacities before being elected to Congress in 2012. “I enjoyed working for people I believe in.” Specifically citing his time as district director for former Rep.
