William E. Hall (born 1984/1985)[1] is an American politician and pastor from Chicago.[2] He is the alderperson for Chicago City Council's 6th ward, having won the 2023 election for the office.[3][4][5] The 6th ward is on Chicago's South Side, and includes portions of the Greater Grand Crossing and Chatham neighborhoods.
Since his election in 2023, Hall has been a close ally of Mayor Brandon Johnson.[6]
In 2024, Hall proposed new regulations to license and tax hemp stores in Chicago amidst a growing push by state lawmakers to ban the sale of synthetic cannabinoid products. Hall argued that his proposed reforms were an important first step in ensuring safety around the largely unregulated industry.[7]
