Richard Hudson is serving his fifth term representing North Carolina’s 8th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. He currently serves on the Energy and Commerce Committee and in House leadership as the Republican Conference Secretary.
Rated the most effective legislator from North Carolina according to the Center for Effective Lawmaking, Rep. Hudson has also been named the 12th most conservative Member of the House by National Journal, demonstrating a commitment to delivering results without compromising principles.
In Congress, Rep. Hudson is dedicated to working across the aisle on solutions to support our veterans, defend our Constitutional rights, create jobs and improve our quality of life.
Under President Biden and one-party rule in Washington, families can't afford groceries, utility bills, or gas, crime has reached the highest rates in decades, and nearly 5 million migrants and record amounts of fentanyl have illegally crossed our border. The American people deserve better.
House Democrats don't have a plan, but House Republicans do. Our Commitment to America lays out a detailed plan to secure an economy that's strong, a nation that's safe, a future built on freedom, and a government that's accountable to you.
Under Leader Kevin McCarthy, the Commitment to America was crafted by Members, task forces, and committees over the past two years. As a leader of the Security Subcommittee in the Healthy Future Task Force, Rep. Hudson helped identify needed areas to improve health care, supply chains, and national security.
Other solutions in the Commitment to America include curbing wasteful government, expanding America's domestic energy production, supporting U.S. manufacturing to reduce the dependence on nations like China, securing the border, hiring 200,000 more police officers, passing a Parents' Bill of Rights, and strengthening Social Security and Medicare for the future.
