Isadore Hall, III (born December 10, 1971[1]) is an American politician. He currently represents the 52nd district in the California State Assembly, encompassing parts of central Los Angeles County, including Compton, Paramount, and parts of Long Beach. He also serves as Assistant Speaker pro Tempore of the body.
Born and raised in Compton, California, Hall is the youngest of six children. He received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Administration from the University of Phoenix and a Master of Arts Degree in Public Administration from National University. Hall is also a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.
Hall began his career of public service in 2001 when he was elected to the Compton Unified School District Board of Trustees. Hall served two terms as President of the Board and oversaw important reforms to attract highly qualified teachers and increase funding to classrooms throughout the district.
Hall was elected to the Compton City Council in 2003 where he served in various leadership positions including Mayor Pro Tem. While on the City Council, Hall oversaw efforts to increase youth access to parks and recreational activities, reduce crime and promote business growth throughout the city.
Through his work on the Compton City Council, Hall also served on the Metropolitan Water District Board, the Gateway Cities Council of Governments and the Southern California Association of Governments becoming an influential regional voice for communities throughout southern California. In 2009, there was controversy as Hall supported a bill that would wave state environmental laws in support of a football stadium in City of Industry. Majestic, the company behind the stadium, donated significant funds to his reelection campaign and financially supported a state proposition to extend term limits, which would directly affect Hall.
