an “action history” Currituck provided with the contract. After moving to the North Carolina House of Representatives, the Currituck Republican party selected educator Selina Jarvis as their nominee to replace Bobby Hanig on the county Board of Commissioners. 2018 Hanig defeated Rep. Beverly Boswell in a Republican Primary. Hanig defeated Tess Judge by a 55 to 45 percent in the general election. Hanig sponsored six bills in his first term. The bills included one that gave the College of the Albemarle the liberty to use state funds for building projects along with Dare County for educational facilities. Another bill was for the isolated schools in Currituck county and improving the transportation efficiency budget for the schools in Currituck County. Another bill passed by Hanig dealt with local regulation of navigable water and the restoration of the Federal Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act. Also, a bill to make bottlenose dolphin North Carolina's marine mammal was passed the House through him and it was directed to the Senate Rules Committee. 2020 Hanig beat Rob Rollason in March 2020. During the campaign, Hanig and Rollason talked about local issues like wind and solar energy projects. Hanig claimed to be a free-market person. Hanig was a big supporter of the Dare County Board of Commissioners declaring the county a Second Amendment Sanctuary. In January 2020, the Currituck County commissioners adopted a resolution declaring the county a Second Amendment Refuge, adding Currituck to a growing list of North Carolina counties seeking to support a citizen's right to bear arms. Hanig spoke in support of the resolution. Hanig urged the board, he formerly chaired, to support the resolution, saying he would oppose any “assault” on the Second Amendment in the General Assembly. 2022 Following redistricting in the North Carolina General Assembly after the 2020 United States Census, Hanig's 6th district was dismantled. Most of Hanig's constituents were drawn into the 79th district represented by two term Republican representative Keith Kidwell, but Hanig's home in Powells Point was drawn into the 1st district, represented by another two term Republican Representative, Ed Goodwin. Instead of facing Goodwin or Kidwell in a GOP primary, Hanig instead announced he would run for the North Carolina Senate in District 3 in 2022. Following Bob Steinburg's resignation on July 31, 2022, Hanig was appointed to finish the balance of his term in the state senate. References |- |- Living people Year of
