Troutdale City Councilor Zach Hudson announced on Monday he will run for the Oregon House of Representatives District 49 seat that Rep. Chris Gorsek, D-Troutdale, will leave open to pursue a 2020 run for a District 25 Senate bid.

Hudson, a Reynolds High School teacher elected to Troutdale council in 2016, said running for higher office is something he's "always wanted to do."
