Phone Calls Controversy
In January 1990 it was reported that Stangeland had made several hundred long-distance phone calls from 1986 to 1987 on his House credit card to and from the residences of a female lobbyist from Virginia. Stangeland admitted that he had made the calls, acknowledged that some of them may have been personal, but denied having a romantic relationship to the woman. His popularity sharply dropped and Stangeland lost the 1990 election to Democrat Collin Peterson.
Stangeland is married with seven children. He is a resident of Barnesville.

Shut shutter of the mineral man
Who takes the fatherless dark to bed,
The acid sky to the brain-pan;
And calls the crows to peck his head.”
