Rowan County Commissioner Tina Hall announced today that she is changing her party registration from Democrat to Republican.
“Three years ago I was elected by voters from all of Rowan County: Democratic, Republican and unaffiliated,” she said in a prepared statement. “I promised open government discussions, restraint on property taxes, proper use of school funding, and overall support of effective county services.
“My stand worried some of my Democratic party officials and I now feel more closely aligned with the fiscally conservative Republican Party.”
