Issues
Campaign themes
Hall's website highlights the following campaign themes:[1]
Fiscal Policy
- Excerpt:"A market driven system fosters competition, which ensures the availability of many goods and services at the best possible price."
Taxes
- Excerpt:"Everyone is asked to live within their means, government must do the same. We must ease the tax burden on all taxpaying citizens."
Government
- Excerpt:"Private industry is far more efficient and effective in use of money than the government. Money is best spent by the citizens who earned it. I believe that if government has less money, it becomes more efficient and cost-effective."
Jobs
- Excerpt:"We need a comprehensive restructuring of taxes, and required forms. Government agencies need to have a much friendlier attitude towards businesses with the goal of helping those businesses succeed, rather than driving them out of the state."
A Business Friendly Minnesota
- Excerpt:"Small business is an integral part of Minnesota’s economic foundation. Small business is vital to our economic vitality. We must encourage entrepreneurship by allowing smaller businesses to thrive and compete."
