Maine fishermen support Jordon Hudson after her advocacy during pageant: 'Together, we persevere'

Charles Barkley expresses concern about Bill Belichick amid Jordon Hudson interview fiasco during an appearance on OutKick's "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich."

The Maine Coast Fisherman’s Association praised Jordon Hudson for her advocacy during the Miss Maine USA pageant earlier this month.

Support for Maine fishermen appeared to be close to Hudson’s heart. She has championed their cause, not only in the pageant, but also thanked Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and the Trump administration for its renegotiation of the Maine Sea Grant funding.

"Advocating for Maine’s commercial fisherman takes many forms, and sometimes it walks across a stage in heels wearing a bikini," the Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association wrote on its Instagram Stories on Monday. "Jordon Hudson is helping shine a spotlight on Maine fishing communities in ways we never imagined, from the stage to the working waterfront.

"We’re grateful for voices like Jordon’s that remind us advocacy doesn’t always look the same, but it always matters. Together, we persevere."

Hudson was asked during the Miss Maine USA pageant a moment in life she would want to go back to. She said she wished she could be transported back to her family’s fishing boat.
