Issues

Campaign themes

Hall's website highlights the following campaign themes:

Support for Our Strong Coal Industries

  • Excerpt:"We must diligently work to ensure that our rules and regulations regarding coal production protect our men and women miners by ensuring them stable employment in the safest possible conditions. West Virginia coal has given our country a great domestic resource for energy, and we must continue to lead the nation in this technology."

Volunteer Fire Departments

  • Excerpt: "The paid departments have pensions, yet the volunteer departments do not. Providing a pension will not only compensate those who have provided this invaluable service, but also attract and retain new volunteers, ensuring that small towns and communities across our state are protected."

Support for Our Public Teachers

  • Excerpt:"Only by working together can a child truly reach his or her potential. When drafting or reviewing education legislation, we must ensure that teachers are given the proper resources and realistic expectations for success, and look for opportunities that put a child’s educational experience back into the hands of both the teacher and the parents."
