Early life and education
Hertel was born in Detroit, Michigan, where he attended the public schools, graduating from Denby High School in 1967.

Political career
He served in the Michigan House of Representatives, 1975–1980, representing the 12th district.
Congress
Hertel was elected as a Democrat from Michigan's 14th congressional district to the 97th United States Congress and to the five succeeding Congresses, serving from January 3, 1981 to January 3, 1993. He was not a candidate for renomination in 1992, primarily because his old district was split into four other districts which all had Democratic incumbents.
