Hall announces candidacy for North Carolina House District 51

Malcolm Hall recently announced his candidacy for North Carolina House District 51 in a press release.

Hall resides in Carthage, and he is retired. He is married and has six adult children and six grandchildren. A native of Pennsylvania, he learned what being an advocate for all meant from his parents. His dad was a church elder before his passing in 2010. Hall is the second oldest of twelve siblings.

Hall said in the press release that he is uniquely qualified for this position because of his experiences in standing up for human rights when it comes to equality, inclusion, and diversity.

In 1993, Hall, along with a group he led, went to the Pennsylvania State House and presented a case for labeling music to help protect our youth from undesirable content. Today, labeling is required.  This was done while continuing to do his job with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

He was also involved in contract negotiations and protecting workers’ rights as a vice president/chief steward in his local union with PennDOT before retiring after 17 years.

After retiring from PennDOT, he pursued his dream of becoming a full-time sports official. Hall was involved in Minor League Baseball, Minor League Football, NCAA Baseball and worked in several youth organizations during his travels.

Hall moved to North Carolina in 2005 and began working at FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital in 2007. He continued working collegiate baseball at the NCAA & collegiate club level.

Before the pandemic hit, Hall also worked with different age groups for Moore County Parks and Recreation. In November 2021, the Town of Carthage commissioners unanimously approved his appointment to the Town of Carthage Appearance Committee.

“I am running because District 51 needs a voice that represents all the citizens in the district,” said Hall. “Climate change is a real and present threat economically and physically. Treating your neighbor as an equal can’t be just words but must be shown in our actions. Partisan politics is about control. We must put an end to that and start listening to each other and make bipartisan decisions that are for the common good. I am about the truth. I will not lie to you. I will listen and respond accordingly.

“I am looking forward to traveling the precincts in the district and building a coalition as we build a campaign of HOPE and not promises.  It does not matter where that will be, whether it’s Carthage, Cameron, Lee County, Woodlake or Vass.

“I am Malcolm Hall and I am asking for your support.”
