MAPL Alum Running for Duluth City Council

June 24, 2009 - Recent MAPL grad, Dan Hartman (cohort 7), announced in April that he would be running for Duluth City Council at Large. The Veterans' Memorial Hall program director is no stranger to campaigning. He was President of the Student Association at UMD during his undergraduate years and has helped other candidates with their campaigns.

Despite his practical experience, Hartman values the knowledge he gleaned from the MAPL program. "As a candidate, I can't explain how helpful MAPL has already proven to be. My Campaign and Elections class with Roger Reinert [former Duluth City Councilor] helped build the foundation to our campaign plan. My class with Bill Moore really helped ground me in the labor movement."

When asked what makes the MAPL program so unique, many MAPLers have often cited the incredible community of support that is created within the program. To date, the MAPL community has been instrumental in Dan's campaign. "MAPL provided a networking environment where I was able to recruit many volunteers who have been instrumental in the campaign to date. In fact, more than half of my team are MAPLers. If I am fortunate enough to be elected it will be in a large part because of MAPL."

Best of luck, Dan, in your campaign!
