Michigan Shared Parenting Advocate Will Formally Announce his Candidacy for State Representative for the 43rd District Today.

Waterford, Michigan - February 25, 2008 -

On February 25, 2008 Scott Hudson of Waterford will formally announce his candidacy for State Representative for the 43rd District.

Hudson has already filed petitions to qualify for the open seat which represents all of Waterford, Lake Angelus, and the northwest portion of West Bloomfield, and is running as a Democrat.

The announcement will be made at the Oakland County courthouse auditorium at 1200 N. Telegraph, Pontiac at 7:30 p.m. during a meeting of the Family Rights Coalition. 

Hudson believes that the integrity of the family must be respected and that the role of the family in America is vital.  The mother and father both need equal and full access to their children, and that the role of the state must be secondary to children having both parents in their lives.

The economy of Michigan needs to be strengthened so that the security of the home and family is not placed in jeopardy because of loose lending practices.  Michigan manufacturing needs to be supported with initiatives that encourage private investment.  New and emerging technologies from the great and innovative minds of Michiganders need to be encouraged.  Partnerships need to be encouraged so that wasteful duplication does not overly tax the people.

Hudson has served eight years on the Board of Directors of an electric utility and understands that there are things that can be done to encourage private investment in sustainable power generation that creates new jobs.

Hudson was elected Vice-President of the Waterford School Board of Education in 2005 and understands that education needs a reliable funding source, and that teachers need to be supported. 

As a nine year member of the Waterford Planning Commission Hudson supports efforts to encourage walkability without raising taxes, and to encourage healthy lifestyles through education, and example.  The Summit Place Mall area needs to be supported through private enterprise and not with government subsidies. 

There is a need for judicial reform.  It is unfair that Oakland County picks and chooses who they fund in the district court system.  The taxpayers of the 43rd District pay such expenses while other governmental entities are subsidized.

Unfunded mandates from the State and Federal government should not be allowed.  Public safety and revenue sharing are very important matters and these must be provided for.
