Dear Democratic Voters of the 5th Congressional District,
As we approach the caucus and convention, I wanted to remind you of the awesome responsibility that you have of electing a fellow citizen of your district to represent you in our nation's capitol. I will respect your decision, as I'm confident you will make the right choice. Our nominee will face challenges along the way to a victory in November. I'll work across the aisles with other members of Congress to promote policy and legislation that is meaningful to citizens in our district. Once in Congress, you can count on me to:
- Commit myself to winning in November and remain authentic in action and deeds
- Stand up for those who need a helping hand;
- Listen to voters
- Put voters of the district first
- Support legislation that creates good paying jobs and strengthens our economy
- Defend Affordable Care Act; protect Social Security, Medicare & support Medicaid Expansion
- Advocate for women's equality, Civil Rights for all, and Comprehensive Immigration Reform
- Champion minimum wage initiative
- Support teachers, veterans, healthcare providers, and provide resources for Public Schools
- Restoration of Ex-felons' right to vote upon completion of obligations
- Support small businesses, agribusiness, and farmers
- Back legislation that reduces the effects of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
- Require tighter environmental controls that protect drinking water, air, and natural resources
- Back legislation that addresses Climate Change; support resources in green technologies
I humbly ask Democratic voters of this district to endorse my candidacy to represent them in Congress. I have a solid record of support for Democrats, voting twice for Presidents Carter to Obama, and recently, Governor McAuliffe, LG Northam, and AG Herring. "One focus, one team, and one victory in November". Together, let's reinstate Nancy Pelosi back as Speaker of the House!
Respectfully yours,
Benjamin L. Hudson
