Rod Hall, a former congressional advisor, and FAA advisor has announced his candidacy for delegate seat in the 2nd district.
Delegate Michael Futrell currently holds the seat. Futrell will not be seeking re-election as a delegate and will be running in a three-way Democratic primary for Chuck Colgan’s Senate seat.
Hall, a graduate of Dallas Baptist University, has served as the head of Congressional and legislative affairs for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), as well as the Chief Advisor for transportation policy for a representative in Texas.
“I am no stranger to working in a bipartisan fashion, working to build consensus with both sides of the aisle for our nation’s premier aviation safety regulator,” Hall said.
In the community, Hall has served as treasurer for the Woodbridge Democratic community, as a life member of the Kappa Alpha Phi fraternity, and a member of the Budget Advisory Council for Supervisor Frank Principi. He was also a participant in the Prince William County Adopt a Stream project.
According to Hall, he is seeking the delegate seat because he feels qualified to handle the issues the district is facing.
“I am running because it is my very firm view that this district is deserving of a delegate that will have a laser light focus on some of the most pressing challenges facing this district and this area,” Hall commented.
During his candidacy, Hall intends to address economic development, expanding education offerings, and more fully supporting the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) as a transportation solution.
“I think increased transportations solutions to ease some of the commuting burden on the residents of this district will be paramount. I think it’s imperative that in terms of increased transportation solutions – if we’re not serious about ensuring that we have transportation and infrastructure and a network that mirrors a 21st century economy, that could have an adverse impact,” said Hall.
Hall lives in Woodbridge with his wife and two sons.
The Republican challenger running against Hall will be decided on June 9 during the Republican primary. The current Republican primary candidates are Mark Dudenhefer and Tim Ciampaglio.
