From the Virginia House Democratic Caucus on the retirement of Del. Franklin Hall (D-Richmond, Chesterfield).House Democratic Leadership Joint Statement on the Retirement of Delegate Frank Hall
Hall Served and Led for 34 Years in the House of Delegates
Richmond, VA - House Minority Leader Ward Armstrong and House Democratic Caucus Chair Ken Plum released the following joint statement today in response to the announced retirement of Delegate Frank Hall from the 69th House of Delegates district in Richmond:
"Delegate Hall served both his district and our Commonwealth with great distinction since his election to the House of Delegates in 1975. He was a leader on so many important issues, from health care for those who needed it, housing so more could afford it, and education so that more could move ahead in life. His accomplished business and legal background gave him a unique perspective integral to deliberations on many important issues over the last three decades. Frank also ably served the House Democratic Caucus in its greatest time of need after the 2001 redistricting as Democratic Leader. His leadership and vision have helped to revive the Democratic brand. Delegate Hall's insight and broad experience will be greatly missed in our Caucus, though we know he will continue to serve our Commonwealth honorably and with distinction for years to come."
Delegate Frank Hall was elected to represent the City of Richmond in the House of Delegates in 1975 and his district currently includes parts of the City of Richmond and Chesterfield County. He was Chairman of the Counties, Cities and Towns Committee and a senior Democrat on the Appropriations Committee and Chairman of the Health and Human Resources Subcommittee.
Good luck to Del. Hall!
