Why I'm running for election

In other words, the newly formed city of Castle Pines on day one in 2009 was in the hole the rebuilding costs of the Castle Pines Parkway and several smaller arteries by at least $5 million. Obviously, funds that a brand-new city didn’t have. 

Now in 2021, during my first term in office we have begun rebuilding these crumbling roads and have a plan to complete the job – WITHOUT BORROWING AND WITHOUT RAISING TAXES ON OUR CITIZENS. While others on city council, including the mayor, pushed for frivolous expenditures I and the conservative majority pushed every dollar back to rebuilding our roads. 

Looking ahead towards my second term, I want to ensure that the rebuilding of these aged out dangerous roads is completed – under budget. I also wish to implement a funding stream plan so there will be money available to properly maintain the roads after they are rebuilt.

"Hudson, running for a second four-year term, said Castle Pines is currently at a crossroads, 'standing precariously between overdevelopment and conservation, between reckless over-spending and wise fiscal responsibility, and between economic development and blight.'"

As far as an increase in crime, inside the city limits is concerned, there is both good and bad news from my point of view. The bad news is we have seen an uptick in attempted vehicle break-ins. The good news is few are successful.
Obviously, that isn’t good enough – especially if you are one of the few who had your vehicle broken into. We have asked the Douglas County Sheriff to increase their patrols, especially during certain days of the week and hours of the day.  We have also added license plate readers at the entrance and exits to our city so law enforcement can better track stolen vehicles.
