She is one of the founders and former co-chairman of Lake Norman Conservatives and a Board member of Widen I-77.

She ran for the N.C. House Seat 98 in 2014.

Sharon has been a leader in the Lake Norman area fighting the plan to build toll lanes on I-77. The road uses Public-Private Partnership funding, creating a bloated project that costs too much and does not meet the needs of the citizens. This “Obamacare” of transportation was pushed through, in spite of tremendous community opposition, by Thom Tillis, then the Speaker of the N.C. House.

As Congress begins the task of improving the nation’s infrastructure, Sharon wants to make sure that citizens voices are not ignored, and that these failing financial models are not forced on the American people.

“When an elected official goes to great lengths to ignore the wishes of his constituents, he does not deserve to be re-elected,” Hudson said. “I’m running for the U.S. Senate to retire Thom Tillis.”
