Jared Hudson Responds to Outside Attack Ad: “Guess We’ve Got Them Nervous”

From the Hudson campaign

May 9

Birmingham, AL – U.S. Senate candidate Jared Hudson responded today to an attack ad from an outside political group, brushing off the attacks as the predictable reaction of political insiders worried about a campaign gaining momentum.

“I guess we’ve got the political insiders a little nervous,” Hudson said. “You can always tell when your message is resonating because suddenly the shady outside groups start spending money on ridiculous attack ads.”

Hudson said the ad says more about Washington politics than it does about his campaign.

“This is the kind of stuff people hate about politics,” Hudson said. “Outside groups most Alabama voters have never even heard of show up, twist the facts around, and hope nobody notices. It’d almost be funny if it wasn’t so predictable.”

Hudson also pushed back on claims in the ad attacking him on crime and public safety.

“I’m a Homeland Security Investigations task force officer and an Alabama sheriff’s deputy,” Hudson said. “So the idea that I’m somehow weak on crime doesn’t even pass the laugh test. It defies common sense, and honestly, it’s insulting to Alabama voters who are smart enough to see through this nonsense.”

Hudson reiterated his support for strong border security and the SAVE Act.

“My position is pretty simple,” Hudson said. “Secure the border. Deport criminal illegal aliens. Put Americans first. And yes — only American citizens should vote in American elections. That’s why I support the SAVE Act. Apparently saying things that normal people agree with has the insiders in Washington panicking.”

Hudson said the attacks will not distract from the campaign’s momentum or message.

“The more our campaign grows, the more nonsense like this we’re going to see,” Hudson said. “That’s fine. While they focus on attack ads, I’m going to keep talking to Alabama voters about the issues that actually matter.”
