Biography
Hudson Holliday is a lifelong resident of Poplarville and the youngest of six children. His parents, Lawrence Henry and Mattie Holliday, provided a stable family environment where he learned the values of hard work, honesty, caring for others and standing up for what he thought was right. He graduated from Poplarville public schools, Pearl River Community College and The University of Southern Mississippi with a degree in Business Administration. In 1995, he graduated from the U. S. Army War College and in 2005 was inducted into the Fort Benning, Georgia Officer Candidate School (OCS) Hall of Fame. Upon Retirement from the Guard in 2004, he received his second star after almost thirty-nine years of continuous service to our state and country.

Hudson is married to the former Paulette Kirkland and they have three children and two grandchildren. Paulette is a registered nurse currently managing the ICU/CCU at a major hospital. Their oldest son, Paul Bradley, is a construction company superintendent.
Laura Heather works for airport security (TSA) in Gulfport and their youngest son, Michael Thomas, an Iraqi war veteran, is a private construction contractor.
Hudson worked in the oil fields and mechanic shops during the summer while in college,and since graduating has been involved in a wide variety of jobs. Upon completing basic training in the Mississippi Army National Guard, he worked for the Boeing Company on the Saturn Project, starting as a methods analyst and rising to be the administrative assistant to the manager of Industrial Engineering/Production Control. When the Saturn program ended, he enrolled in OCS at Fort Benning, Georgia, graduating as a 2nd Lt.
With an entrepreneurial spirit and a positive outlook, Hudson Holliday sees opportunity everywhere. Be it farming, timber harvesting, home building, heavy construction, law enforcement, real estate development, soldiering, or even crop dusting with an airplane, Hudson has the business experience. This vast work experience gives him special insight into what working Mississippians go through everyday and an understanding of how government can and does impact the hard working people in this state. Today , besides being a county supervisor, he is involved in the restoration of our wetlands.
As a pilot, he promoted the local airport and served on the local airport board for many years. He continues to serve on the Hancock Bank advisory board where he has been a member for 15 years. As a life long member of the First United Methodist Church in Poplarville, he is serving his third consecutive term as Chairman of the Board of Trustees.

A first term supervisor, Hudson has quickly earned a solid reputation as being a champion for the people. He continues to focus on ways to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of government while at the same time being a staunch advocate of personal property rights. His main goal as supervisor is to improve the lives, futures and fortunes of all the citizens of Pearl River County.
As for hobbies, his love of old cars is evident when you visit his workshop, where he does most of the restoring work himself. When he is at home, you can find him in his shop or out working around the farm. His latest project is a 1942 International Truck which he is building to be his “Parade Truck” during the campaign. Be sure to look for it when it comes to your community.

JOE TEGERDINE: Mississippi Needs Eminent Domain Reform.

Mississippi 4thDistrict Republican candidate for Congress,
Joe Tegerdine, issued the following statement concerning
Eminent Domain Reform.
Our government should not have the authority to take ourprivate property and give it to a
corporation or other private entity.   There is no justifiable reason for infringing upon our
fundamental and constitutionally protected property rights.  Whatever the rational today,
will be the unwinding of more of our freedoms later.  Today is the day we begin to build
a bastion around our Constitution to protect our fundamental rights of Life, Liberty, and
Property.
We as Mississippians find ourselves in the unfortunatecircumstance of having to fight to
ensure these rights because our elected officials have been unable or unwilling to do so.
We have already successfully collected signatures for the Personhood Amendment (Life),
the Voter ID Amendment (Liberty), and have begun to work on the Eminent Domain
Amendment (Property).  We will have the opportunity to vote on these amendments
ourselves without having to rely on our elected officials to properly represent the voice of
the people.
Eminent Domain Reform is Initiative #31 and reads as follows:
“Initiative #31 would amend the Mississippi Constitution to prohibit state and local
government from taking private property by eminent domain and then conveying it to
other persons or private businesses for a period of ten years after acquisition. Exceptions
from the prohibition include drainage and levee facilities, roads, bridges, ports, airports,
common carriers, and utilities. The prohibition would not apply in certain situations,
including public nuisance, structures unfit for human habitation, or abandoned property.”
Farm Bureau worked hard in 2009 to pass H.B. 803 (Eminent Domain Reform). Though
H.B. 803 failed to pass, Farm Bureau is continuing this fight to protect the rights of
Mississippi property owners. Farm Bureau has created a website at
http://savingmyland.orgwhich has instructions and petitions for Initiative #31 which can
be printed directly from the website.We will need to collect 90,000 signatures by
October 1st, 2010 to get this Initiative on the ballot.
Please join me in this fight to get Eminent Domain Reform on the ballot and together we
can secure our rights to property and prosperity, for this generation and future
generations, together.
