As a grandparent I want my grandkids to live and work where they were born and raised. To not have to leave the state for better jobs. The people of eastern Ky have the land and the opportunity right here in these mountains to make that happen with the right leadership in Frankfort. Health care should be provided for all who can't afford it not just some.

That I was honest and truthful and stood for my district for what was best
My first job was at a local grocery store where I live in Bulan. I was a carry out boy who bagged groceries and stocked. I was 16 years old. We had at least 25 employees and were all family. Owned by the mom and pop folks who cared about there employees. I think I made 3.15 an hour. I thought I was rich.
The Bible it inspires me!
The loss of my father 11 years ago. It's been a struggle to not have him around for advice. He was a hard working man and encouraged us kids to work hard and do what is right.
Being able to work together across party lines for what's best for the commonwealth.
Sure, that way you can work together and come up great ideas from one district that could help another
We have had several some have been great while others were just there. I want to model myself not after anyone particular but to be known as the Representative for the people of Ky.

2016

Hall's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[6]

Jobs

  • Excerpt: "We need leadership that promotes this area to investors, helps local entrepreneurs obtain the resources they need to assure success, and recruits businesses from outside of the region that plan to stay in our area for the long-term. We can make this happen, but we must take action now, or else our future generations will have no choice but to leave."

Education

  • Excerpt: " As your state representative, it is my responsibility to fight for our teachers, but it is not my responsibility to tell them how to do their jobs."

District Development

  • Excerpt: "A vibrant tourism industry for our district isn’t just a dream. If we welcome the ideas of bright people in our communities, we can make it happen."
