In 2004, Hudson resigned from the campaign and from Crisis after accusations of misconduct during his tenure at Fordham came to light. Hudson explained that he did not want to take away from the campaign nor put his family through another round of pain and suffering.[1][2]

In 2008, Hudson re-surfaced on the political scene as a prominent Catholic supporter of John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign.
