New City Councilor Richard Hudson, lifelong Sapulpan, embodies values of hard-working family man

It was about 9 p.m. on a recent Saturday evening when Mayor Craig Henderson reached out to Richard Hudson to ask if he could “swing by” sometime the next day to talk to him. Though the two had recently been in contact, Hudson was nevertheless surprised by the request and waited to discover whether his “friend Craig” was coming by, or whether “Mayor Henderson” was coming by. 

As it turns out, both the Mayor and the friend showed up. Henderson told Hudson he had a “twofold” question. First, “How do you think we handled the mask mandate?” he asked. When satisfied with Hudson’s answer, he said, “How would you like to be on the City Council?”
