First off, the average Wikipedian is fond of pushing an artificial pecking order of titles, and state representative falls within that pecking order. Hudson also held several notable positions in the executive branch which aren't noted here. He led the Alaska Marine Highway System and also held a cabinet-level position. Just off the top of my head, I believe he was commissioner of the Department of Administration during Hammond's governorship.

Also, some leads towards an image to illustrate the article. Are screenshots from original C-SPAN programming in the public domain? I believe I've seen images on Commons with such a claim. Also, official portraits from his first two terms in the House and possibly also his cabinet tenure might be in the public domain as photos published before a certain date in 1989 and not registered with the Copyright Office. Unfortunately, I left Alaska in March and therefore no longer have access to most of those resources. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 02:34, 15 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
