Meet Dan
Dan Wolgamott is a dad, a husband, a State Representative, and a candidate to be your next State Auditor.
Dan lives in St. Cloud with his wife Erika and his youngest daughter. His eldest daughter is currently attending U of M Duluth. He coaches football at Sauk Rapids-Rice High School and attended the College of St. Benedict/St. John’s University.
Dan knows how to take on the right-wing propaganda machine and win. In his first election to the State House in 2018, he successfully flipped a competitive district by unseating a Republican incumbent. Since then, Dan has helped deliver historic progressive accomplishments, all while maintaining the support of his swing district through years of difficult elections for Democrats. Currently, Dan is the only DFL State Representative to win a Trump district in the state of Minnesota, a true testament to his hard work and record of results.
In his time as a state legislator, Dan has built a strong track record of collaboration and results, including strengthening pensions for Minnesota teachers and firefighters. As the DFL Chair of the House Higher Education Committee, Dan was responsible for creating and accounting for a nearly $4 billion dollar budget.
Dan has found that his most fulfilling work has been collaborating with local governments, earning public accolades from both the League of Minnesota Cities and the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities.
He worked directly with cities, counties, and townships throughout the state of Minnesota to chief-authored over 40 bills concerning local government, ranging from city tax increment financing, local road and bridge replacement cost-share appropriation allocations between counties, cities, and townships, intra-governmental data exchanges, local pipeline building permit requirements, county cost-share payment modifications, local cost-share assistance accounts, and more!
Dan cares about us—the Minnesotans who work every day in our towns, counties, and cities to do our best and leave a strong legacy for the next generation. And he believes we deserve to have local governments that work for all of us.
That’s why Dan is running for Minnesota State Auditor, and we hope you’ll join us in supporting our campaign!
