Dan Feehan

Dan Feehan Husband, father, Minnesotan. Army vet, former teacher, former Pentagon.

As a fifth generation Minnesotan, I have spent more than a decade working to defend and serve the people of this state and this country as a soldier, as a teacher, and as a national security professional at the Pentagon. As a soldier in war, I learned the burden of being directly responsible for the lives of others. As a middle school teacher, I learned what it means to empower children through ed

ucation. As an acting Assistant Secretary of Defense, I learned the awesome responsibility of making policy for millions of our nation’s service members. Each experience was humbling as well as enlightening, and each showed me how significantly policy impacts the lives of our citizens. It's been the honor of my life to build broad, bipartisan coalitions in our campaigns for Congress, and I'm eager to continue advancing the cause of service-oriented, People First politics.

Minnesota could not be more proud to send one of our finest exports - Vice Presidents - to Washington, Gov Tim Walz! The whole country will soon see the compassion and leadership that has transcended politics here for years.

This is cowardly bu****it. Rep. Hicks is incredibly kind and hardworking at the business of democracy - listening to others and pursuing the common good. Only a coward takes the time to do something this because their ideas can’t and won’t win. And this certainly won’t stop Kim, either.

Parenthood is a daily lesson in humility. Sometimes it’s seemingly trivial - eat your vegetables - or sometimes, it feels much heavier - reliving the consequences of twice losing a race for Congress and, with it, the chance to help codify the reproductive rights that all deserve.

But the humility is never defeating. I used to think it was, but instead see now how it wisens, emboldens, and builds up just a little more resilience to be able to fight again.

So we wake up, embrace the humility, and we fight again. We demand of current elected officials and candidates the actions our vote expects of them no matter what this Supreme Court issues. Lead, or get the hell out of the way.

Over the last week Amy and I have received overwhelming encouragement for me to run in the 2022 special and general elections to represent Minnesota’s 1st District in Congress. After weighing things carefully, I’ve decided that I will not run in either race. I’m immensely proud of our 2018 and 2020 campaigns to put the people of Southern Minnesota first, coming incredibly close twice over. At the same time, my family has made incredible sacrifices in the pursuit of the chance to serve our community. In 2022, I owe a wise eleven year old, an imaginative eight year old, a joyful two year old, and an amazing partner my time and my presence.

I have lived my life in service to this country and while I still have a deep passion and sense of purpose to serve Minnesota in elected office in the future, this opportunity will not be it. In 2022, I’m eager to help the CD1 DFL nominee and share any wisdom we’ve gained along the way.

I’ll proudly see you around Mankato and throughout the state as I will be helping candidates up and down the ballot who will represent by putting people first and who will strengthen the institutions of our Republic, not tear them down.

Sincerely,

Dan, Amy, Conor, Declan, and Maeve

Two years ago yesterday, we launched a campaign to put people first. Thank you to those who joined our movement and who continue to embody this spirit today.

Thank you once again to every single one of you for your support, teamwork, and love across our campaign to put People First. Despite running 7 points ahead of the top of the ticket, we lost a tough race in 2020. Our race shows that for Democrats to win everywhere, we cannot abandon persuading voters through tough conversations. It may be the only way through division.

Southern Minnesota raised me and instilled the values of service, sacrifice, and community. While we were unsuccessful in our campaign, these values transcend politics and so does our fight to put people first. I would like to congratulate Congressman Jim Hagedorn on his reelection to the U.S. House of Representatives.

To the countless volunteers and campaign staff who have sacrificed and dedicated their lives to our movement, I can’t thank you enough. You shared our People First message with your friends and family, and you elevated the voices of those forgotten by the status quo. Because of your hard work, we were able to build a broad and bipartisan coalition.

I’m also immensely grateful for Amy’s partnership in this campaign and that I’ve had the chance to share this journey with her, our children, and family.

It’s deeply humbling knowing that so many placed their trust in our campaign and I’m reminded of advice I received during my time in the Army: ‘the only easy day was yesterday.’ I launched this campaign with a promise: I’ll always fight to put people first and despite this result, that fight continues for all of us.
