Dennis Walto is described by Hart as a volunteer who did limited work for his 1986 87 campaign and did not violate the law.

He spoke at Hoppy’s Diner to Iowa voters urging precinct caucus participation and cross party democracy. Bruce Babbitt urged Hart supporters to consider him as a second choice.
