Mark Hall, Noblesville, will be a candidate for the District 3 Hamilton County Council seat in the May Republican primary election.

Hall is a local business owner and describes himself as a conservative.

“Over the past year I’ve listened to hundreds of our neighbors talk about life in Hamilton County. While issues vary the concerns are troubling and similar,” Hall said in his news release announcing his run.” Voters ask, why doesn’t government think about the taxpayers’ money first? Why doesn’t someone stand up for us? Our district deserves better than big spending establishment career politicians. I watch firsthand how the families and taxpayers in District 3 are represented. Spending big dollars has become way too easy and is now the “normal”, not the exception. Cronyism and going along to get along has taken the place of kitchen table common sense. This is why I am a citizen candidate.”

Mark Hall lives in Noblesville with his wife of 38 years, Lisa, along with their four Australian Shepherds. They are members of Harbour Shores Church and actively volunteer with Shepherd Community Center, Truth at Work and teaching employment classes to inmates and underprivileged young adults in the area. Mark enjoys his grandchildren, music, hometown theater, improv comedy and date nights with Lisa.

Hall will face incumbent Steve Schwartz in the GOP primary.   Hall & Schwartz are, so far, the only ones to file so far for the Republican nod in that district. Jeremy Hawk is the only Democrat to file candidacy in District 3.
