CONCORD, N.C. – U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) announced today that Cabarrus County Sheriff Brad Riley will be his guest when the President delivers his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress tonight. As a Member of Congress, Rep. Hudson may bring one guest to the State of the Union, who is reserved a seat in the House Gallery.
“While there’s been a lot of national attention focused on law enforcement recently, I wanted to show my support for our law enforcement officials by inviting Sheriff Riley as a representative of all the brave men and women who dedicate their lives to our well-being and security across North Carolina’s Eighth District. I’m honored to have Sheriff Riley as my guest to this year’s State of the Union address, and I look forward to continuing our conversation and focusing on ways the federal government can partner with local Sheriff Departments to better coordinate and meet the needs of our communities.”
