WASHINGTON, D.C.—The U.S. House of Representatives last week passed the Stop the Importation and Trafficking of Synthetic Analogues Act of 2017 (H.R. 2851), legislation to combat fentanyl, a synthetic drug that is responsible for twice as many deaths in North Carolina as heroin.
U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC), a leader on the Energy and Commerce Committee and local representative, voted in favor of the legislation.
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.

“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.”
