Senator Hodgson is the granddaughter of the late PLP cabinet minister Arthur Hodgson and niece of civil rights activist Dr. Eva Hodgson and has served in the senate for four years as Junior Minister for Labour, Finance and Health.
Leader of the Progressive Labour Party David Burt , the Premier of Bermuda and PLP chair Dawn Simmons unveiled Senator Arianna Hodgson as the next candidate for constituency #25 Warwick North East at Alaska Hall, Reginald A. Burrows Building in Pembroke Monday morning.
Senator Hodgson will replace MP Ianthia Simmons-Wade who won the seat in the 2020 general election and previously held by former Finance Minister Curtis Dickinson.
The seat was won by the OBA in 2017 by Jeff Baron. His subsequent retirement from politics triggered a by-election turning an additional seat over to the PLP won by Mr. Dickinson in 2018.
