Rick Nolan (b. December 17, 1943, in Brainerd, MN) is a former Democratic member of the U.S. House, representing the 8th Congressional District of Minnesota. He served in the U.S. House from 2013 to 2019.[1][2]

Biography

Email [email protected] to notify us of updates to this biography.

Upon graduating from Brainerd High School in 1962, Nolan attended St. John's University and then completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Minnesota in 1966. He pursued postgraduate work in public administration and policy formation at the University of Maryland and also in education at St. Cloud State College.[3]

Nolan served as a staff assistant to Walter Mondale in the U.S. Senate.[4] He also campaigned for Democratic presidential candidate Eugene McCarthy in 1968.[5]

After deciding not to run for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1980, Nolan became president of the U.S. Export Corporation. He was subsequently appointed to the Minnesota World Trade Center (later becoming president) by Democratic Governor Rudy Perpich. The National Journal reported that opponents "criticized his $70,000 salary, which they considered high for a civil servant at the time, and the budget deficits the company ran up."[5][6][7]

Issues

Presidential preference

Nolan endorsed Hillary Clinton in June 2014, but in April 2016, Nolan, a superdelegate, announced he was throwing his support behind Bernie Sanders and would vote for Sanders at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.[105][106]

2016 presidential endorsement

✓ Nolan endorsed Bernie Sanders for the Democrat primary in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.[107]

Taxes and Spending

Nolan has stated that the "super-rich" should be targeted for tax increases.[108] He has also voiced support for the stimulus spending championed by President Obama. He has stated that, "It did in fact create good jobs in a whole wide range of areas, not the least of which is in the field of transportation."[109]

Veterans

Nolan voted in protest against the 2014 Veterans Affairs appropriations bill, which allocated $73.3 billion to veterans programs and military construction projects, "$1.4 billion more than what Congress budgeted" the previous year, because, he stated, "it under-funds veterans health and benefit programs."[110]

National security

American response in Syria

See also: United States involvement in Syria

More than 100 House lawmakers signed a letter urging President Barack Obama to call Congress back into session if he planned to use military force in Syria.[111]

Rep. Scott Rigell wrote in the letter in August 2013, “Engaging our military in Syria when no direct threat to the United States exists and without prior congressional authorization would violate the separation of powers that is clearly delineated in the Constitution.”[111][112]

The members of Congress believed that Obama should have asked Congress for permission before engaging in Libya. The letter asked, “If the use of 221 Tomahawk cruise missles, [sic] 704 Joint Direct Attack Munitions, and 42 Predator Hellfire missiles expended in Libya does not constitute ‘hostilities,’ what does?”[112]

The letter stated, “If you deem that military action in Syria is necessary, Congress can reconvene at your request. We stand ready to come back into session, consider the facts before us, and share the burden of decisions made regarding U.S. involvement in the quickly escalating Syrian conflict."[112]

A total of 98 Republicans signed the letter. Nolan was one of 18 Democratic members to sign the letter.[112]

On August 29, 2013, 53 House Democrats signed a letter written by California Rep. Barbara Lee that called for a congressional resolution on strikes and cautioned that the situation in Syria "should not draw us into an unwise war—especially without adhering to our constitutional requirements."[112][113] The letter also called on the Obama administration to work with the U.N. Security Council “to build international consensus” condemning the alleged use of chemical weapons. Nolan was one of the 53 Democrats in the House to sign the letter.[112][113]

Comments on ISIS

See also: ISIS insurgency in Iraq and Syria

Nolan urged President Barack Obama not to make a decision to mobilize the military against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) without the consent of Congress. On August 29, 2014, Nolan stated, "American blood and treasury should not be made without the full consideration by all 535 members of the Congress of the United States."[114] He added, "When we get ourselves involved in that conflict, then we become a part of the problem and the solution becomes ours."[114]

Shortly after making these comments, Nolan issued a statement regarding ISIS. Nolan wrote, "I encourage them to employ the same intelligence resources – and the same selective, highly effective means they used to bring down Osama Bin Laden. Special operations of this kind do not involve U.S. troops on the ground, the killing of innocent people, or the re-involvement of the United States in another terribly destructive, expensive, open-ended conflict in that region.”[115]

Nolan's Republican challenger in the general election, Stewart Mills, disagreed with Nolan, stating, "Like it or not we have to play some role here. And for Congressman Nolan to take those positions, I think, leaves America in an even weaker position than we have been in the past. We can't lead from behind. We have to lead."[116]

According to a poll published in The Washington Post, the majority of voters' views aligned closer with Mills than Nolan on the issue of taking action in the Middle East. About 91 percent of voters believed ISIS to be a serious threat, and 71 percent supported the U.S. government ordering air strikes against the Sunni insurgents in Iraq.[117]

SNAP challenge

See also: United States Farm Bill 2013

In June 2013, more than two dozen House Democrats, including Nolan, took part in a SNAP challenge, feeding themselves for a week on the average benefit level of a SNAP recipient.[118] Participants agreed to eat all meals from a limited food budget comparable to that of a SNAP participant, approximately $1.50 per meal, or $4.50 a day.[119]

Heading into the election, Ballotpedia rated this race as a race to watch. Incumbent Rick Nolan (D) defeated Stewart Mills (R) in the general election on November 8, 2016. This was a rematch of the 2014 race, in which Nolan successfully defended his seat from Mills by 1.4 percent of the vote. Neither candidate faced a primary opponent in August.[120][121]

See also: Minnesota's 8th Congressional District elections, 2014

The 8th Congressional District of Minnesota held an election for the U.S. House of Representatives on November 4, 2014. Challengers Stewart Mills (R) and Ray "Skip" Sandman (G) were defeated by incumbent Rick Nolan (D) in the general election. None of the candidates faced challengers in the primary election on August 12, 2014.[123]

Minnesota's 8th was considered a battleground district in 2014. Nolan won his seat in 2012 with an 8.9 percent margin of victory, and President Barack Obama (D) won the district in 2012 by only 5.5 percent. Nolan was first elected in 2012, and representatives serving their first term are often more vulnerable than long-time incumbents. In addition, Minnesota's 8th district was redrawn in 2011, which could have significantly altered the ratio of Democratic and Republican voters. In 2013, Politico reported that Nolan was vulnerable in this competitive race.[124]

Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Nolan's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“
  • Rebuilding America and the Middle Class: As a small business owner, Rick knows what it takes to create good-paying jobs. Rick understands that to rebuild the middle class we’ve got to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. We must end nation-building abroad and focus on paying down our deficit, so we can invest in our communities infrastructure, health, and education.
  • The Environment: We must protect the environment in order to not just our economy and tourism, but to protect our traditions and way of life. Rick continues to work to protect our bodies of water from dangerous invasive species like Asian carp and passed programs that help farmers turn land over for conservation. Rick fights for funding to clean up pollution in the St. Louis River, Lake Superior coastal cleanup, and was called a “champion for the environment” by the League of Conservation Voters.
  • Veterans: We have a sacred obligation to protect and serve those who protect and serve us. Rick has been recognized with his work in Congress on VA reform, by working towards eliminating the backlog in veterans benefits claims, expanding treatment for PTSD and suicide prevention and allowing rural vets in our community to visit their local doctor instead of driving hours to get care.
  • Education: As a former teacher and proud member of the MEA (now Education Minnesota), Rick’s spent a lifetime fighting to expand early childhood education initiatives, so every child will be ready to meet their full potential. Rick will keep working to fully fund elementary and secondary education, and to supply every student and school with the 21st-century technology and resources necessary to succeed.
  • Healthcare: Tea Party conservatives are determined to undo and destroy any health care reform, and bring us back to a time when those who needed care were denied coverage for a pre-existing condition. Rick is determined to make sure that all Americans have access to affordable health care. No one should ever again face bankruptcy to pay a medical bill, or be forced to choose between medical treatment and the basic necessities of life. We need to increase preventative care and make sure that pre-existing conditions can never again be a reason to deny someone the medical services they need.

2014

Nolan listed the following issues, among others, on his campaign website:[130]

“
  • Rebuilding America and the Middle Class: As a small business owner, Rick knows what it takes to create good-paying jobs. He knows that if we’re going to rebuild the middle class, we’ve got to raise the minimum wage to a living wage, and end nation-building overseas to pay down the deficit - so we can invest in infrastructure, manufacturing, mining, the environment, energy, research, health, and education.
  • Protecting Social Security & Medicare: Seniors have earned their Medicare and Social Security benefits. They’ve paid for them with every paycheck since their first day on the job. Rick will fight to protect Medicare from being turned over to the private insurance companies, which would mean higher costs and less treatment. Rick will always protect Medicare and Social Security from radical plans that would privatize or undermine them.
  • Minnesota’s Farmers: Rick Nolan is working to bring stability and security to family farmers and our rural communities. He was recently awarded the National Farmers Union Golden Triangle Award for his leadership on family farmer and rural issues. Rick has worked hard to pass crucial dairy reforms to prevent skyrocketing milk costs, extend conservation programs, and promote organic farming and Beginning Farmer and Rancher programs. Working on the Farm Bill in 2013, Rick successfully included programs to promote the benefits of wood products, to give Minnesota’s timber industry a needed boost.
  • The Environment: The environment, our air, lakes, rivers and forests, are crucial to our 8th district economy. The degradation of our air and water, along with global warming, threaten the very survival of our species here on earth. We must protect the environment in order to preserve our way of life and our tourism industry. Rick works to protect northern Minnesota’s tourism industry and our lakes, rivers, and streams from dangerous invasive species such as Asian carp, and has passed programs that help farmers turn land over for conservation. Rick will continue to fight for funding to clean up pollution in the St. Louis River and for Lake Superior coastal cleanup and management, and has been called a “champion for the environment” by the League of Conservation Voters.
  • Exports and Jobs: Rick has lived and traveled all over the world. Rick has worked to expand the Port of Duluth and its role in making Minnesota a leading export state. He has fought against “fast-tracking” the ongoing TPP trade negotiations, and will continue to stand up for fair trade and tax policies to encourage and protect good American jobs. He has voted to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank, a job-creator that helps create and sustain nearly 200,000 jobs across the country, and helps finance nearly a dozen businesses in Minnesota’s 8th District alone. At the Minnesota World Trade Center Corporation, he worked with Governor Rudy Perpich to help create 328,000 jobs and put Minnesota on the map in the global economy.

2012

The campaign issues below were featured on Nolan's website.[131]

  • Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!

Excerpt: "With 8th District unemployment at over 10% (not counting the thousands of discouraged Minnesotans who have quit looking for jobs) we need a congressman who knows how to meet a payroll and balance a budget."[131]

  • Rebuilding America and Jobs

Excerpt: "Rebuilding America’s infrastructure – roads, bridges, wastewater treatment, mass transit and high-speed light-rail, would improve our quality of life, create millions of good paying jobs, and strengthen our economy. We can pay for this by ending the Bush tax cuts and loopholes for the rich, and by pulling back our military footprint in countries like Japan that pose no threat to us whatsoever."[131]

  • Medicare

Excerpt: "Don’t turn Medicare into a voucher system for insurance companies, which will mean higher costs and less treatment."[131]

  • Social Security

Excerpt: "Social Security is a compact with the American people that must be honored. Don’t turn it over to Wall Street. Stabilize the Social Security Fund for generations to come by requiring the very rich to pay Social Security taxes on a higher percentage of their income."[131]

  • Education for America’s Future

Excerpt: "Fix a broken college loan system that saddles many graduates with crushing debt they will spend most of their working lives attempting to repay. Higher education must be a right for all – not simply a privilege for the well off."[131]

  • Support the ERA for Women

Excerpt: "America has come a long way in advancing civil rights for all citizens. Yet women still face significant gender discrimination in a host of areas including education, employment, health care, pensions and social security benefits."[131]

  • Wars in the Middle East

Excerpt: "America is deeply involved in expensive wars with no apparent plan for winning them or concluding them. We need to devote those resources to jobs and the economy here at home. So bring the troops home now."[131]

Personal Gain Index

Congressional Personal Gain Index graphic.png
See also: Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress)

The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
It consists of two different metrics:

PGI: Change in net worth

See also: Changes in Net Worth of U.S. Senators and Representatives (Personal Gain Index) and Net worth of United States Senators and Representatives
Net Worth Metric graphic.png

Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Nolan's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $696,008 and $1,515,000. That averages to $1,105,504, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Nolan ranked as the 200th most wealthy representative in 2012.[132] Between 2011 and 2012, Nolan's calculated net worth[133] decreased by an average of 4 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[134]

Rick Nolan Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2011$1,147,776
2012$1,105,504
Growth from 2011 to 2012:−4%
Average annual growth:−4%[135]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[136]

The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.

PGI: Donation Concentration Metric

See also: The Donation Concentration Metric (U.S. Congress Personal Gain Index)

Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org, Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). Nolan received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Retired industry.

From 2011-2014, 28.54 percent of Nolan's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[137]
