According to FEC filings for Hudson for Alabama (C00906453, through 3/31/2026), multiple individual donors contributed more than $2,500. Examples include eight Anderson family members (Books-A-Million owners) each giving $10,500 in Sept 2025, Jimmy Dunne III ($10,500), and Tom Werner ($7,000), with some redesignated across elections. All itemized details are public on
FEC.gov. No direct PAC funds to the campaign but is supported by a Super PAC.
The Anderson family (Books-A-Million owners) has historically given mostly to Republicans and GOP causes. Examples include Clyde B. Anderson donating to George W. Bush in 2003; cycle totals show 69-76% Republican in 2020-2022 per OpenSecrets. 26-31% to Democrats. Basically Bush’s or Democrats the uniparty Globalists.
Tom Werner (Boston Red Sox chairman) has been a major Democratic donor for years—over $130k to Biden, DNC, and other Dems in 2020. His recent $7k to Hudson. He is also supported by a shadowy Super PAC not the outsider he pretends to be. Previously the ~$130k in the 2020 cycle per FEC records: $75k to Unite the Country PAC (Biden-aligned super PAC), $35.5k to DNC Services Corp., and $2.8k directly to Biden’s campaign. He has also contributed to other Democrats including Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Joe Kennedy III in recent cycles. Only Republican Jared Hudson???
Besides the Sept 2025 $84k total from 8 family members ($10,500 each) to Jared Hudson (R-AL Senate), records show:
- Clyde B. Anderson: $2k to Rep. Bud Cramer (D-AL, 2004); later to GOP-aligned PACs like Alabama Conservatives Fund and SFA Fund.
Additionally,- Broader family/associated individuals: Mix of Republican and some Democratic recipients in past cycles; Charles C. Anderson Sr. historically served on Alabama's State Democratic Executive Committee.
- Recent BAM-linked: Small amounts to various candidates/PACs across spectrum. Same family and man donated to Alabama Conservatives Fund to bypass limits (the Super PAC backing Jared Hudson) registered with the FEC on August 2, 2021—nearly 5 years ago in time for Katie Britt and backed her.
It’s Alabama-focused and Its biggest prior effort was independent ad spending for Katie Britt’s successful 2022 U.S. Senate campaign. No major out-of-state or other national campaigns on record. Anderson family funded.
