“I Can’t Stand Idly By”

Rooted in Northstate Values
Darin Hale’s story is deeply tied to the land and traditions of Northern California. He spent his childhood on a thousand-acre farm spanning Modoc and Lassen Counties. “I highly value my traditional Christian family upbringing,” Hale shares on his campaign website. “From regularly attending Sunday Services to hunting, fishing, and being somewhat reckless on three-wheelers, by the Grace of God, I survived my youth and graduated from Big Valley High School Class of ’95.”
After high school, Hale established himself in Shasta County and built a career in the construction industry. In 2013, he and his wife, Cassie, settled in Anderson with their three children. The family enjoys camping, church activities, vacations, and participating in a wide variety of North State events.
