Morgan Hudson filed to run for the 33rd Representative District on December 1, 2025, just a few days after her challenger, Matt Bucher, filed. The two are vying for the seat that will be vacated by Charles Postles who announced his retirement last year. Both Bucher and Hudson are Republicans which means they will face off in the primary election.
“I decided to run because I believe strong communities are built by people who live here, work here and care deeply about the future of our district,” Hudson said. “Our area is growing, and while growth brings opportunity, it also brings challenges. I want to ensure we protect the character of our district while responsibly planning for the future.”
Hudson stated that she faces the same challenges many families face.
“Rising costs, increased taxes, pressure on small businesses and farms, and concerns about schools, healthcare access, and public safety,” Hudson said. “I’m running because I believe we can do better and I want to bring practical, community-focused leadership to /dover that puts people first.”
A lifelong Delawarean, Hudson was raised in the Frederica and Milford area, and a proud graduate of St. Thomas More Academy in Magnolia.
“After earning my bachelor’s degree in human resources from Cabrini University, I returned home to join my family’s construction cleaning business which has proudly served Delaware for more than 30 years,” Hudson said. “Over the past 19 years, I’ve worked in many roles within the company and now serve as Vice-President and Head of Human Resources, overseeing payroll, insurance and contracts. Our company specializes in commercial projects that support our communities, including hospitals, police stations, schools and other essential facilities.”
Hudson also has 15 years’ experience in property management, including managing homes she owns personally. Through remodeling projects and day-to-day operations, Hudson has developed a deep appreciation for safe, well-maintained housing and the importance of strong community relationships.
“Community service is central to my life,” Hudson said. “I currently serve as the Vice-Chair of the Kent County Board of Adjustment, where I help review appeals and ensure the public’s voice is heard in land use decisions.” I also serve as President of the Board of Directors of the Frederica Senior Center, where we work to support seniors and provide vital services, including an on-site food pantry in partnership with the Food Bank of Delaware. Most importantly, I have chosen to raise my family here because this district has always been home.”
According to Hudson, if she is elected her priorities will be focused on strengthening the foundation of our community by support small businesses.
“I plan to do that by cutting unnecessary red tape, addressing rising costs, and helping create stable, good-paying jobs locally,” Hudson said. “I also plan to preserve family farms and open space by increasing farmland preservation funding and protecting the rural character that defines our district.”
Hudson also plans to stand up for seniors, ensuring they have access to the services, dignity and support they deserve. She also wants to strengthen education to improve outcomes and build a stronger workforce for the future.
“Another goal is improving healthcare access by attracting and retaining doctors and healthcare professionals so families can receive timely care close to home,” Hudson said. “I want to prioritize public safety by supporting law enforcement, emergency readiness and safe neighborhoods. These goals are personal to me because they reflect the real needs of the families. Businesses and seniors I serve every day.”
One of the biggest challenges Hudson feels she may face is making sure voters clearly understand who she is and what she stands for.
“I’m focused on ensuring residents know that I’m a lifelong Delawarean with deep roots in the district; practical business experience, and a strong record of community service,” Hudson said. “With a growing district that includes both long-term residents and many new families, it’s important to reach everyone and communicate a message that unites us around shared priorities, protecting our quality of life, preserving open space, strengthening schools and keeping our communities safe. My goal is to earn trust through direct engagement, hard work and a clear vision for our future.
In order to run for the 33rd, a candidate must have lived in Delaware for three years and been a resident of that district for at least one year. The candidate must complete a Candidate Filing Packet with documents completed. Because Hudson is challenging a fellow Republican, her name will appear on the Primary ballot. The Delaware Primary is September 15, 2026.
The General Election will be held on November 3 from 7 AM to 8 PM. Early voting begins October 22 and ends November 1. For those that will need an absentee ballot, visit the Department of Elections online to learn the steps for that process.
