Rudofsky received a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Public Administration from Cornell University, and a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School.

In 2015, Rudofsky became Solicitor General of Arkansas, and he left that post in 2018 to become senior director for global anti-corruption compliance at Walmart.

[11] In 2022, Rudofsky held that American citizens could not bring suit under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, instead concluding that provision could only be enforced by lawsuits filed directly by the Attorney General of the United States.

[12] His decision was criticized by some legal commentators as standing in opposition to decades of Supreme Court precedent which had permitted private enforcement of the Voting Rights Act, effectively "gutting" the VRA and rendering it "largely unenforceable".

[13][14][15] The issued decision dismissed these concerns, citing a line of Supreme Court precedent that limits creating a private right of action absent clear congressional intent.
