Endorsements

I have known Maria for 20 years. She is an outstanding human. She has a thirst for knowledge, a level head, and a commitment to our students, teachers, and schools. Maria is creative and reasonable. I know she will bring balance and a healthy perspective to the school board. I will be supporting her with my vote. — Dana Dahl

Maria Rude has my full-throated endorsement for the upcoming School Board elections. As a local pediatrician with significant focus in childhood and adolescent mental health, I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Maria for almost a decade. As a grandmother, with my youngest grandson starting Kindergarten in the Hudson School District this fall, I am more aware than ever how important School Board elections are. Maria is smart, committed, open-minded and able to appreciate that complex problems require thoughtful, complex solutions. I have observed her working through complicated problems, getting fresh perspectives, integrating new information into her understanding of the problems, and then coming up with new solutions that only a fresh perspective can bring. Maria is committed to Hudson and to the success of the school district – to the students, teachers, staff, parents and the community as a whole. Her training in public health and her experience as a mother of two in our school district for the past decade make her a remarkably well-qualified and committed candidate! — Kelly Delahunty

Maria Rudie has actively offered opinion, action and participation in all things Hudson School District as well as contributing involvement in community interaction serving as a member of advisory committees initiated by the school board . Maria, because of her data based decision making experience in the work force and her compassion for teachers and students and her passion for optimum learning opportunity for students stands out as a logical and needed candidate aiming to win the April election for a seat on the BOE. She has my endorsement. Sue Kattas
