Walter Hudson, a public figure and member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, shared several thoughts on his social media account between September 25 and 26, 2025. His posts addressed topics ranging from employment to political theory and paid tribute to an author.

On September 25, Hudson commented on a subject by stating, "This is interesting." Later that day, he discussed perceptions of work in public office. In his post, he wrote: "Hate to ve the party pooper by making a serious point, but...

... work is work. And, in this case, it's honest.

Hell, night shifts at Kwik Trip aren't off the table for me. We've got bartenders and contractors and such in the legislature.

There's no shame here." This comment highlights his perspective that holding additional jobs while serving as a legislator should not be stigmatized.

On September 26, Hudson reflected on the passing of Voddie Baucham, an author known for critiquing critical race theory. He posted: "Baucham was a incisive and clear thinker.

His book 'Fault Lines' is a brutal takedown of critical race theory which introduced me to the concept of ethnic gnostism, the absurd idea that knowledge is inherent to racial identity and non-transferable.

RIP"

Minnesota's legislature has historically included members who maintain outside employment during their terms due to its part-time structure. Legislators often balance their duties with other professions such as teaching or contracting because legislative pay does not constitute a full-time salary (https://www.house.mn.gov/members/profile/news/15518/48115).

Voddie Baucham was recognized for his contributions to religious thought and criticism of contemporary social theories. His book "Fault Lines" has been cited in discussions about race relations and ideology in America.
