Clerk of Court Candidate Monica Hudson

Monica Hudson, Victim Advocate for the Bossier Parish District Attorney, has announced her candidacy for the Bossier Parish Clerk of Court. She is a lifelong resident of Bossier Parish and earned an Associate Degree in Business Administration from Bossier Parish Community College.  She continued her education and earned a B.A. from Minot State University. 


Hudson began her career in August 1982 with the Bossier Parish Clerk of Courts Office and continued with that office until May 1990.  Her duties there included: running Mortgage Certificates for sheriff’s sales, lenders, and the general public, issuing marriage licenses, assisting in the indexing of Mortgage and Conveyance records, microfilming mortgage and conveyance records, typing court minutes for civil and criminal cases, and training COE workers.
Hudson worked for The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for three years after leaving the Clerk of Courts Office.  At the FDIC she started in the file room and within three months moved to records management where she handled released mortgage notes and cancelled them at the various clerks offices.  She also maintained a data base with all closed files.  She then moved to Asset Management Department and performed various special projects as well as ordering appraisals, insurance, asset lien searches, and credit reports. She paid bills and re-inscribed mortgages at the clerk’s offices.  One year later she was promoted to the job of energy technician for the site.  There she wrote and implemented procedures for the oil and gas department and prepared monthly reports for upper management.  Her duties also included tracking all oil and gas revenue and expenses, keeping up with all accounts receivable and accounts payable records on each oil and gas asset, and researching and issuing division orders. 
Hudson’s experience also includes having been a legal secretary and paralegal for attorneys which involved the preparation of legal documents and filing them in the parish and federal clerks offices. 
Still employed at the Bossier Parish District Attorney’s Office, she began her career there in the incoming area and was quickly moved to the misdemeanor department where she worked cases and assisted attorneys with legal documentation,

subpoenas, motions, discoveries as well as other legal documentation. Her duties also included working with attorneys in trial preparation. 
Hudson has been the victim advocate for the past 12 years of her 15 years she has been employed in the District Attorney’s Office. She works with victims of crime ranging from domestic violence, sexual assault, robbery, and murder cases just to name a few. She works with attorneys in trial preparation and obtains certified medical records when needed. She assists victims in obtaining counseling and restitution. She assisted Representative Billy Montgomery in writing legislation to assist victims in obtaining restraining orders. She accompanies victims to court, prepares legal documents, and helps with statistical data for grants.
She is civic minded and has served as president on several non-profit boards. Her unique combination of career experiences has provided her with insight into the functioning of the Clerk of Courts Office as well as providing insight into needed enhancements to the services it offers by implementing streamlined procedures that increase efficiency. Her first priority is to ensure the integrity of the records as they are reported and expand currently limited online documents. She will begin to work backwards from 1982 to the present microfilming documents so all documents will be online. Another enhancement to services will be the ability to pay for services using debit or credit cards. She believes that a satellite office in Bossier is long over-due. She intends to save taxpayers money by making cuts in the budget without cutting services. She plans to expand technology and add more forms on the website. She will seek legislation to help with making e-filing a reality. She will seek grants to expand services for victims. She intends to implement records management procedures that will ensure a suit does not get lost or sit on a desk too long. In addition, she will have a transparent office and an open door policy. She will implement procedures tol meet attorney’s needs in 24 hour filing.
She is a Notary Public and with more than 27 years of legal experience. She wants to serve you. She is for the people and would like you to Hire Her for your Clerk of Court.
If you are a candidate for office and would like to address the voters with your platform for office, please send a few paragraphs to mybossier@gmail.com and we will publish it.  Attach a picture if you like and we’ll include it.

  1. No mention of her real estate career? Or the closings she does at the District Attorney's Office? Or the time off from being a victim's advocate to show houses?

    1. So who are you supporting? I'd like to know where the mudslinging is coming from.

  2. Assuming those things are true (which I don't assume), why would she want to mention them?

  3. Since you seem to have inside knowledge of that, I would really like to know which real estate title company sent their employees to the DA's office for a closing. That's a pretty bizarre charge.

    ReplyDelete
  4. There are no closings at the District Attorney's Office and I know that for a fact. I am a client of Ms. Hudson's and she tells you she shows houses after 4:00 p.m. when she gets off work. She also did my closing at 5:00 at a title company so I think the anonymous comment is trying to slander this candidate. She has worked with me on weekends and as late as 8:00 p.m. many nights.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I'm confused. If she worked at the clerks office until 2000 and has been employed at the DA office for the past 15 years, when did she work 3 years at the FDIC in between those two jobs? Just confused on the timeline of her jobs.

  6. She seems like a nice lady. Why is someone trying to run her down. Typical Bossier political machine already starting. Their candidate can't run on merit so they have to tear others down.

  7. I know the other candidates, however, Jill Sessions is the only candidate with years of experience within the Bossier Parish Clerk of Court, and the only candidate who can transition the office leadership without having an actual transition/learning period. Ms. Sessions has faithfully served Bossier Parish for over 20 years, and currently serves at the Chief Deputy for the Clerk of Court. Ms. Sessions has served with professionalism and integrity. I am asking all of my friends and family in Bossier Parish to join me in supporting Jill Sessions for the next Bossier Parish Clerk of Court.

    3. Not that long! And I'm back a couple of times a month in Bossier City visiting my family! You will have more credibility not hiding behind anonymous postings. See, I love Bossier Parish/ Bossier City. It is my home. I will always continue following what is happening there. But don't fret, i will move back eventually! LOL...

    3. Exactly what is Monica Hudson's level of managerial experience? She must not know the operations of a Clerk's office well because microfilming is not a procedure that is used. Documents are scanned into the computer. You know modern technology... Does she assist every single victim or just the "high profile victims"?

      Delete
    4. April 15, 2015 at 5:15 PM This is in response to your comment. Does the Clerks office loose every single mortgage or just some?

    5. I have read and I am very impressed with the information that Ms. Hudson has provided as far as her experience and her education. I know that Mr. Franklin is an Attorney and has plenty of education but I must say I have not read anywhere about Mrs. Sessions education. Is this something that I have missed or does she just not have any education?

      Delete
    6. Your response has nothing to do with my comment. Monica stated in her article that she has managerial experience. What is that experience. How may people does she manage in the DA's Office? She says she is going to microfilm documents. Can you even buy a microfilm machine? I do not know how much you know about microfilm but it has nothing to do with the computer. Microfilm is looking at a negative under a light, then cutting it and placing it in a plastic sleeve. She says she will expand technology "microfilming" is not expanding technology. Not trying to pick a fight with anyone just read the article and asked some questions. Does she assist every single victim or just the "high profile victims?"

    7. Just wondering after reading all of this craziness does anyone know who that 4th candidate is and when are they going to join in the campaigning?

      Delete
    8. So let me jump in here and maybe clear something up for the both of you that is pretty much common knowledge. Yes microfilming is a thing of the "past" but that is all the Bossier Parish Clerks Office has ever known and I am sure Mrs. Hudson is just merely saying that she is going to take the old microfilm and convert it to information that can be scanned in and put on the web site as usable information. Your other question about the people she assists is probably best to be asked as "how many Victim Advocates are there for Bossier Parish and how does the process work"?

      Delete
    9. Well why don't you jump into the Clerk's Office and ask to look at some microfilm. Then you will be clear on the subject. Have a nice day.

Good luck Sammy please stay out of Bossier Parish Politics it is obvious that you are a very sore LOOOOOSER!!

    3. Ran out of town! Now that is funny! LOL... And just who is big enough to run me out of town? Are you seriously still talking about a political race from 4 years ago? You obviously do not know what I do for a living! LOL... And these comments from people who hide behind anonymous as usual! Don't be scared! LOL... Y'all crack me up! LOL... But it is comical to read! Go drink a Yoo-Hoo! LOL...

      Meanwhile, back to the current race at hand, just because there are multiple people running for an election does not mean any of them are bad people! Unfortunately, most of the time, politicians resort to negative campaigning and slander against their opponents in an attempt to obtain a competitive edge. It's not necessary, just be who you are, state your experience and what you plan to do if elected. The people will decide!

  15. Just because a person may have "done work" in the clerk of courts office, does not make them qualified to run the office. Based on how many jobs Ms, Hudson has had, she does not stay put with one very long term. The great fear would be that she would continue that habit IF she were elected.
    The Clerk's office needs to be ran by some one that has actual experience in running a business.....and all that it entails. The same for Ms. Sessions, just because you work somewhere, does not mean you are qualified to actually run the business. It sounds like Mr. Jimmy Franklin is the best qualified to actually run the office as it should be ran.

  19. Will Mr. Franklin will give up his Law Practice?? It is evident that your people do now know how to read and retain information from the article
    above. Does this mean that your Law Practice was not successful . As for Ms. Hudson she is very qualified and has been on her last job for 15 years. Mrs. Session who has not has not produced her education, I don't that she is a good candidate and will need more than her 12th grade education to get the job done. I think the race is between Mrs. Hudson and Mr. Franklin.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I just heard at the courthouse that Mr.Franklin is not going to run so I am placing my bets on Hudson due to the fact that Sessions with her12th grade education is not capable to run the Bossier Parish Clerks Office and I really think Bossier Parish Tax Payers know Sessions is not an electable candidate.

    1. Wilna Mabry, Joan Carraway, and Cindy Johnston did not have a college degree and all three ladies did a fine job of running the Clerk's office. Just because you can read a book or lecture notes and pass a test does not make you able to run a business. I know a lot of educated idiots and Mrs. Hudson's and Mr. Franklin's education does not impress me. I also know people who are successful business owners and do not have college degrees. Mrs. Sessions in my opinion is the best candidate.

  21. Wilna Mabry did a fine job. Of course, in her day Bossier was smaller.

    Joan Carraway did...... hmmmm.......an ok job. She was flawed, but on many things did alright.

    Cindy Johnston has NOT been a good Clerk of Court. Her failure probably has more to do with lack of managerial experience, lack of managerial skill, lack of managerial will, lack of understanding about the role of government and the responsibilities that flow therefrom, and even day-to-day attendance than with formal education.

    For Jill Sessions to be a good candidate and a good Clerk she will have to acknowledge the problems of the current Clerk and demonstrate that she would do much better.

  22. This is why we need change in that office.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I usually don't comment on this site but I feel the need to do so now.
    Wilna Mabry was a great Clerk of Court. Every time I went to the Clerk's Office, she was there, greeted me by name, asked how she could help me, and then asked if I was satisfied with the help I received.
    Joan Carraway filled the shoes of Wilna Mabry quite well. Again she was always there when I needed something from the Clerk's Office, greeted me (but not always by name) when I arrived and then made sure I had everything I needed before I left. Joan Carraway started the on-line search to allow people who were in the business of always needing to search the clerk files to do so from their own office instead of having to go to the courthouse. When I had jury duty years ago she was in the courtroom and performed the duties of the Clerk of Court herself when selecting the jury.
    Cindy Johnson has also done an excellent job as Clerk of Court. She handled the oil field crush of "Landmen" a few years ago without a major hitch. She expanded the on-line search to all Bossier Parish libraries without charge to make it to where I didn't have to come to the courthouse on several occasions. When I have come in person she has always greeted me, asked about my family, and made sure I got to the person who I needed help from.
    What makes the Clerk of Court Office so successful is the Assistant Clerks of Court. Wilna Mabry hired good qualified people and trained them well. Joan Carraway hired good qualified people and trained them well. Cindy Johnson hired good qualified people and trained them well.
    For me the questions are:
    1. Who will maintain the good quality Assistant Clerks of Court by either not firing those presently there or having a mass resigning shortly after the election?
    2. Who has strong ties to a political official or select group of attorneys who will try to control the office for their own benefit instead of serving the public?
    3. Who will run the office in an efficient manner instead of spending money on trying to satisfy those who are still mad because the courthouse stayed in Benton 40 years ago instead of being moved to Bossier City?
    It's still early so I'm waiting to see who stays in the race and who drops out, and who may get into the race later. I'm also waiting to see who is backed by which group, that says a lot to me.

  24. I am a local attorney who attended the Bossier Bar Luncheon yesterday. Monica Hudson did a great job during her speech. On the other hand Jill Sessions got up there and read her speech verbatim. Someone asked Jill Sessions a question and she didn't know the answer.....a co- worker had to answer the question. I would think being named Chief Deputy that you should know every aspect of the Clerk's office. Also there were fiveemployees that came with Ms. Sessions to lunch.....was this done on company time Cindy Johnston? Monica Hudson has my vote!

  27. 6:05pm Does Mrs. Hudson get paid when Mr. Marvin closes the DA's office early? In the last 15 years how many times has her office closed early? How many hours have been charged to the Police Jury to pay Mrs. Hudson for work she could not have done because her office closed early. Is that considered wasting tax payers money?

    4. It sounds like 2 employees at the Clerks Office is not happy. The way to handle that is vote. Jill Sessions has not yet produced her education or managerial experience and I don't think she can win against a lady who has tons of experience in top level management and has given the public tax payers her complete education. Ms. Sessions you will have to answer the questions and not coming forth with this info will hurt in the election.

      Apparently Ms. Sessions does not have any education to talk about

    How you parlay that into support for Hudson is beyond me. I have never seen such a paranoid display in my life, only because I am undecided as to whom I will support.
    I'll go further, Monica Hudson has asked for my support, and sent me something to put on the blog. Jill Sessions unfriended me on Facebook just for saying I had not decided yet, and has sent nothing at all for the blog.

    Ms. Sessions will not post to this blog because she has no education to talk about. The only thing she can talk about is what is being written for her to read.
    My opinion is that a minute clerk and a 12th grade education can not run that office. I would like to know if Ms. Sessions even votes and if she is a Democrat or Republican .

  40. It's too early to proclaim a victor, however, Jill Sessions has a clear head start against Monica Hudson. Franklin is not running which leaves a two horse race. Curious as to which Bossier heavyweights, if any, are in Hudson's corner. Sessions has several heavyweight backers with Shreveporter, Ron Miciotto, hosting a fundraising event at Silver Star. Hudson will have to do some major fundraising to have any chance.

With low fundraising turn outs and also wasting tax payers dollars while she plans these fundraisers she should be at work doing her job.

      1. I have never said anything about Mrs. Sessions' education.

  45. I attended Sessions fundraiser and her fish fry and her lack of education never came up. When you don't have education you stay away from the subject so you might as well stop asking for Sessions education! Her minimal experience will not get her elected either . I'm sure she has good intentions just not good qualifications.

  46. Okay thank you for the information . I have asked before and never got an answer. I think I will just go and vote for the more educated one cause to run such an office, in my mind you will have to have someone who has been to college every high paying job is employed by people who have been to college.

  48. You are talking way back "in the day" and today we need to focus on moving Bossier Parish forward. I am sure comparing your education with theirs is not going to help you. Bossier Parish needs people that have seen computers and know how to use them. Have you even had a computer class. I am sure you probably took typing in high school because there were no computers when you were in school. Thank goodness some people believe in education!

  49. What a great article . Ms. Hudson has an impressive resume . She would make a good Clerk of Court , looks like she know how things are run and would make some great changes to that department and make it user friendly . She has a lot of experience that would work well to get this office up to par. Would love to meet her and get to know her better. I have not seen much about the other candidate I read an article in Bossier Press Tribune by Ms. Marty and it was good but did not show case her job experience or education. I would love to hear more about her .
    Is she still in the race ?

I am sure you probably took typing in high school because there were no computers when you were in school. Thank goodness some people believe in education!"

    As far as moving Bossier Parish forward, you are right. But you cannot leave behind the past of Bossier Parish and pretend it no longer exists. I admire those who do not always rely on a computer or technology to get the job done. The "old school" way is just as admirable. Give a 20 year old a book and tell them to run records by thumb. Could they do it? No, most cannot. They would look at you just as stumped as they would if you asked them what an 8 track tape is. Education is not based on how much college you've had. For example look at Thomas Edison. He stopped attending school when he was 7. He gained knowledge by reading and studying on his own. Not college. Andrew Jackson, U.S. president, general, attorney, judge, congressman was home-schooled and he became a practicing attorney by the age of 35 – without a formal education. Frank Lloyd Wright, the most influential architect of the twentieth century. Never attended high school. Henry Ford, billionaire founder of Ford Motor Company. Did not attend college. These are just a few. These people never had a proper education. So therefore, if you believe college is ALWAYS a key to success please re-evaluate your opinion. Stop using the light bulbs... because Thomas Edison, the uneducated fool, invented them. Over 200 years of genius running in every room of my home and yours everyday. Every time you look at a light bulb now, I hope it's a reminder that the things you use everyday are a prime example of the college lacking education of some of the greatest and most educated people, whether it be Wendy's restaurants to Ford cars. (Both Dave Thomas and Henry Ford lacked college). So please think about the impact and knowledge they have and let's not say college is everything. It's important for some jobs. But experience comes from learning and the best type of learning is experience.

  54. What kind of idiot are you to think there is a dirty campaign going on? If her good friend did this to her I would hate to see what her enemies would do. Who in the world would intentionally do what that girl did in the Inquisitor and think that candidate was behind it? It makes you wonder if this friend is really for the Sessions camp. Why doesn't the Sessions camp just worry about their race and not Hudson is doing since they think they have won this thing.
