Political Career
In 2014, Hartman was elected to serve on the Ocean City Council after receiving the endorsement of Citizens For Ocean City alongside three other candidates. As councilman, Hartman oversaw the construction of barrier systems on the boardwalk and the controversial refurbishment of memorial plaques on the boardwalk’s benches.

Prior to that, he sat on the ADA Committee as well as the Property Review and Enforcement Strategies for Safe Housing Committee.
In December 2017, Hartman announced his candidacy for the Maryland House of Delegates after incumbent delegate Mary Beth Carozza said she would challenge state senator Jim Mathias in the 2018 Maryland Senate elections. He prevailed in the Republican primary with 49.3 percent of the vote and ran unopposed in the general election. Hartman was sworn into the Maryland House of Delegates on January 9, 2019.

Political Positions
In November 2023, Hartman criticized the Juvenile Justice Reform Act, a bill that passed in the 2022 legislative session which restricted the state’s ability to charge juveniles for most offenses, blaming it for an increase in juvenile crime in the state.
