Greetings:

My name is Orlando F. Hudson, Jr., and I am the incumbent Senior Resident Superior Court Judge seeking re-election to Superior court Judge seat District 14A in Durham County, North Carolina. I have been the only judge to hold this seat and have done so for twenty-three years.

Born and raised in High Point, North Carolina, I am a proud native of North Carolina. I have resided in Durham for twenty-nine years with my wife, of thirty-two years, Marilyn Foote-Hudson, and our two adult children. I ask for your support and your vote.

I seek re-election with the same vigor and commitment to serve this community as I had when I successfully first sought appointment as a District Court judge by Governor James B. Hunt in 1984.
