Bonita Springs, Fla. - Presstige Printing, Florida’s premier commercial print and direct mail provider added Chris Hudson as VP of Political Strategy as it continues to expand its political marketing division.

Chris Hudson is a recognized political professional with a multitude of accomplishments and extensive experience. His comprehensive background includes everything from government affairs management to campaign and grassroots management and nonprofit work, in addition to policy analysis and preparation of legislation while working at both state and federal legislative offices.

Presstige Printing President and CEO Westley Weidenmiller remarked “I could not be more excited to join forces with my friend Chris. His expertise and experience combined with the high performing team we have in place will create a dynamic operation that is greater than the sum of its parts.”

“I am excited to get closer to home and get back to my roots. I look forward to getting in the mix on campaigns across the country through direct mail and the other services that Presstige Printing has to offer our clients,” commented Chris Hudson. “I have always wanted to work directly for a design and production facility. There is something special about being able to watch your hard work go from an idea to an industrial press and into the mailbox. Many folks in politics only get to see the idea and design process and don’t see their product until it lands. AFP afforded me every opportunity to sharpen my craft and become the professional I am today. As I endeavor down this new road my thoughts will be with the folks who helped me get to where I am today.”

Chris spent 10 years prior to joining Presstige Printing with Americans for Prosperity (AFP). Chris was the AFP Florida State Director for five years and the VP of Government Affairs for the remainder of his time. Chris is the current Chairman of Optima Classical Network.

Chris attended Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and a Master of Arts degree in International Relations. He lives in Naples, Florida with his wife and daughter, and is an avid paintball player.
