Hugh Hallman is an American politician, who served as the Mayor of Tempe, Arizona for two consecutive terms, from 2004 to 2012, and as councilman from 1998 to 2002. Hallman was a candidate for State Treasurer of Arizona in the Republican primary on August 26, 2014, but lost to Jeff DeWit.
Hallman is a community activist, volunteer, and lifelong resident of Tempe. His background as a public servant, teacher, economist, and attorney has allowed him to design public programs and policies locally, nationally, and internationally.
Hallman is the son of Evelyn Hallman née {Evelyn Rose Chapman}, a seamstress, diesel mechanic, and longtime Tempe community activist, and Louis, a retired high school math teacher and football, basketball and wrestling coach, among other sports. His mother, whose early political activities included volunteering for the presidential campaign of Barry Goldwater, was honored in 2006 for her local preservation efforts in North Tempe when Canal Park was renamed Evelyn Hallman Park. Hugh graduated from Coronado High School (Scottsdale, Arizona) and was admitted to Claremont Men's College in California, but studied at Arizona State University in the Honors Program (now the Barrett Honors College) for his first year. He transferred to Claremont where he majored in economics and political science and minored in accounting. He eventually became president of the student government and graduated summa cum laude in 1984. Hallman earned his J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School in 1988, where he graduated with Honors and Order of the Coif.
Hallman began his legal career as an associate at the law firm of Brown and Bain, where he worked in the fields of domestic and international finance and taxation, intellectual property and anti-trust. Later he became a partner in the firm Colombo & Bonacci until he established his own firm, Hallman and Affiliates, in 1999 where he has dealt with a broad range of legal issues for individual and corporate clients. As an economist Hallman has worked with colleagues at Stanford, Harvard, MIT and the University of Chicago in analyzing markets and competition in various industries.
