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.

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.
