Career

Ahead of the 2004 elections, the North Carolina General Assembly drew new districts to be used for elections to itself for the elections up until 2012. The legislature created a new 88th district that included all of Alexander County and part of Catawba County which had no incumbent. Hollo was elected to the seat in 2004, defeating Democratic nominee Joel Harbinson. In 2006 he ran for re-election, but he was defeated by Ray Warren, a former Alexander County Sheriff who had unsuccessfully run for the NC House in 2002. Hollo lost again in a rematch in 2008, but easily gained back his former seat in 2010 when Warren didn't seek re-election. In 2012, legislative redistricting renumbered his district as the 73rd and it traded its Catawba County portion for all of Yadkin County and a small portion of southeast Wilkes County. Hollo faced another incumbent, Darrell McCormick in the 2012 primary, but easily defeated him and won the general election in a landslide against Democratic nominee William Stinson. Hollo didn't seek re-election in 2014. Hollo unsuccessfully ran for the North Carolina Senate in the 42nd district in both 2018 and 2020, losing the Republican nomination both times. In both elections, Hollo had a strong lead amongst Alexander County voters but lost to his opponents Wells and Proctor in the more populous Catawba County portion of the district.
