In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“American innovators are at the leading edge of technological advancements that will serve our families and businesses for years to come. However, our laws governing satellite technologies often do not reflect our ability and shared goal to continue that progress. I look forward to a conversation about modernizing our regulations so bureaucracy and red tape do not prevent another great American century.”
Hudson To Chair Hearing on Modernizing Satellite RegulationsApr 21, 2026 · Official · hudson.house.gov [Official] · source
“The Telecommunications Act was a huge milestone when it was enacted. It was the first major rewrite of communications policy since the Communications Act of 1934. The world of 1996 looks nothing like the world of today, and it's time that we update our laws to reflect that.”
Hudson Holds Hearing on Modernizing Telecommunications Law 30 Years After Landmark ReformMar 26, 2026 · Official · hudson.house.gov [Official] · source
“President Trump laid out a powerful case for the American comeback and proved strong leadership delivers results. Inflation is down to 2.4%, gas is at a four-year low, private sector jobs are rising, and the Working Families Tax Cuts are putting more money back in the pockets of seniors, parents, and small businesses.”
