Losses

$18.7M

The city's annual budget nearly doubled on his watch.

Exhibit A / Personal finances

Tim Hall has struggled to manage his own finances.

He's had liens placed on his homes twice and was forced to enter into an agreement with his mortgage lender to avoid foreclosure. If Tim Hall can't manage his own finances, how can we trust him to manage Kentucky's state budget?

Exhibit B / Jeffersontown general fund

Tim Hall is a tax-and-spend liberal.

During his time on the Jeffersontown City Council, the city's annual budget doubled — from nearly $20 million to $40 million. In Frankfort, Hall would bring the same tax-and-spend approach — growing government, increasing taxes, and sticking Kentucky families with the bill.

Exhibit C / December 2, 2013

Tim Hall would hurt job creation and Kentucky's economy.

On the Jeffersontown City Council, Hall opposed a tax cut designed to help attract new businesses and create jobs in the community. Instead of making Kentucky more competitive, Tim Hall would stand in the way of lower taxes and good-paying jobs.

Exhibit D / Social and cultural

Tim Hall is supported by the same woke groups that support the radical trans agenda, which includes men in women's spaces.

Exhibit E / Election history

Tim Hall is a career politician who just can't stop running for office.

He has spent half his life seeking elected office, appearing on the ballot at least 16 times since 2000.

Twenty-six years of running. One result: bigger government.

Jeffersontown voters have seen the record. The budget doubled and tax relief for job creators died. District 31 does not need to send that to Frankfort.
