Hudson wins House 101 GOP primary

Hudson_portrait Matt Hudson, a Realtor and fire district commissioner, beat three competitors in the GOP primary for House District 101.

He will take on Democrat Linda McDonald on Nov. 20 in a contest to replace Republican Mike Davis of Naples, who died of cancer last month.

Hudson took 37 percent of the vote in a win over former Davis aide Eric Zichella who raised far more money than his opponents and garnered 33 percent. Christopher Spencer fared well, with Gerald Lefebvre barely showing. Voter turnout was 10 percent.
