Congressman Richard Hudson, who represents North Carolina’s 9th district in the U.S. Congress, has issued a statement regarding the capture of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela. Maduro, described by Hudson as an “illegitimate dictator and indicted Narco-Terrorist,” was reportedly apprehended following years of tension surrounding his leadership.
Hudson said, “Democrats spent years making excuses while an illegitimate dictator and indicted Narco-Terrorist destabilized the hemisphere and endangered American lives. Accountability finally came.”
He continued, “Parents in our community can rest easier knowing a major peddler of fentanyl is off the streets.”
Hudson also expressed gratitude for those involved in the operation: “I’m grateful for the heroes who carried out this mission and praying for their safe return home.”
Hudson has represented North Carolina’s 9th District since 2013 after replacing Larry Kissell. He was born in Franklin, Virginia in 1971 and currently resides in Southern Pines. Hudson earned a BA from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 1996.
