Katy Perry’s mother, Mary Hudson, has recently announced her candidacy for a seat on the Santa Barbara Republican Central Committee.

However, an insider has revealed that her neighbor, Meghan Markle, is attempting to undermine her campaign.

Mary Hudson, a Pentecostal pastor, has been actively engaging with the community in Montecito, California, on Veterans Day, gathering signatures to qualify for the 2024 ballot.

She was joined by Adam McKaig, the founder of the non-profit organization Adam’s Angels.

The role of Central Committee members is to promote their party’s platform within the community and support their party’s candidates in local elections.

If successful, Hudson would represent the Santa Barbara County Republican Party.

“We want to get the conservatives in there to make a difference,” Hudson previously stated to the Daily Mail, expressing her motivation for running.

She reportedly criticized the current lackadaisical approach of the county’s GOP officials during the same conversation.

However, Mary Hudson’s campaign has faced obstacles due to Meghan Markle’s interference.

According to a source close to a Montecito neighbor, Markle refused to sign a campaign sheet, despite local support for Katy Perry’s mother.

Nevertheless, Hudson managed to collect enough signatures to qualify for the vote.

She filed her candidate paperwork in late November and has since been confirmed to appear on the March ballot by Santa Barbara County’s elections office.

A local resident commented on the situation, stating, “Everyone knows that Meghan Markle has political ambitions, which indicates that she won’t assist anyone else because she fears they might take her seat.”

Rumors suggest that Markle herself ran for a seat on the Republican Central Committee in Santa Barbara, but she failed to garner support and eventually abandoned her pursuit.

While this information has yet to be confirmed by an insider, many can see the possibility of Markle venturing into politics.

Her previous actions, such as her controversial letter and her association with global figures, indicate a desire for political involvement.

However, critics question Markle’s intentions, questioning why she positions herself as a public servant and potential political leader when true public service requires representing and being a voice for all people, not just those who align with one’s own identity.

They argue that Markle has already demonstrated her inability to fulfill this role effectively.

Some describe her as a grifter rather than a dedicated worker, suggesting that her aspirations lie more in becoming a celebrity influencer who earns substantial amounts of money and mingles with the A-list, rather than engaging in meaningful work.

In the past, there were even speculations that Markle could fill the vacant seat of California Senator Dianne Feinstein after her passing at the age of 90.

However, critics argue that Markle lacks the necessary intelligence and toughness to succeed in the Senate.

They emphasize that there are numerous qualified candidates who possess a deeper understanding of legislative work and are more likely to be chosen.

As the race for the Santa Barbara Republican Central Committee seat unfolds, it remains to be seen how Mary Hudson’s campaign will fare against the opposition from Meghan Markle.

The community’s support for Hudson’s conservative agenda may prove influential in determining the outcome of the election.
