Elections
2012
Koppelman ran in the 2012 election for the U.S. House, representing North Dakota At-large district.[2]He was defeated by Kevin Cramer in the Republican primary, which took place on June 12, 2011.
According to the Washington Post, North Dakota is a battleground district in 2012, with incumbent Rick Berg (R) running for Senate and Republicans duking it out in the primary. Democrat Pat Gulleson is vastly out-raising the Republican candidates, and has a "fighting chance" in a conservative state.[3]

Koppelman won re-election to one of two seats in District 31 of the North Dakota House of Representatives. Koppelman and fellow incumbent Alon Wieland (R) defeated Mary C Tintes (D) and Michael Halverson (D) in the November 2 general election.[4][5]
