These are Mike Hall’s unedited responses:

Hi, I’m Mike Hall, I am running for Currituck County Commissioner (At Large Seat)  

I have lived in Currituck County for 23 years with my family and in the surrounding area for over 50 years. My work experience as a retired law enforcement supervisor, retired corporate security director, serving on multiple county volunteer boards, a one term county commissioner, and six years at the Collage of the Albemarle as a Board of Trustees’. My work experience in both the private and public workplace has involved leadership, budgets, design, and growth. I have navigated the complexities of the corporate and political structures along with the hiring, training, retaining, and promoting employees. 

Our residential growth has outpaced our available services, and the catch-up is causing our taxes and other fees to spiral up at near hurricane levels. I will not kick the can down the road and will work to get Currituck back to a balanced growth VS spending account.

• Attract and Promote Businesses 
• Responsible Residential Development
• Conservative Managed Spending

I promise and commit to the voters that I will fight for the priorities I have listed because I believe that by encouraging citizen involvement we can succeed together.
