In 1989, Doc Dart was a candidate for mayor of Lansing; he finished third of three in the August 8, 1989 city primary election with 5% of the vote.
Dart continues to be a mainstay of alternative culture in Lansing, Michigan, regularly showing up in local papers. For a long time, Dart ran a baseball card store in a small collection of shops on Michigan Avenue. These shops were located near Sparrow Hospital, where he petitioned the city to open a women's crisis center, serving as one of its original board members.
Currently residing in Okemos, Michigan, Dart created a stir with alleged anti-American sentiment following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Signs attached to the front of his home read, in part, "U.S. Troops terrorize as cowards from the skies. They should be in body bags." He also claims to be a supporter of the Animal Liberation Front.
Doc Dart is the son of Rollin Dart, former chair of Dart National Bank, cousins of the Dart Container family. Dart is a divorced father of two adult children.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Let no guilty man escape, if it can be avoided.... No personal considerations should stand in the way of performing a duty.”
—Ulysses S. Grant (1822–1885)
“That man is to be pitied who cannot enjoy social intercourse without eating and drinking. The lowest orders, it is true, cannot imagine a cheerful assembly without the attractions of the table, and this reflection alone should induce all who aim at intellectual culture to endeavor to avoid placing the choicest phases of social life on such a basis.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
