The 1998 Minnesota gubernatorial election took place on November 3, 1998. Reform Party candidate Jesse Ventura, the former mayor of Brooklyn Park and professional wrestler, won his first term in office, defeating Republican St. Paul mayor Norm Coleman and DFL state attorney general Skip Humphrey. He succeeded Republican incumbent Arne Carlson, who was term limited. Ventura's victory as a third-party candidate was considered a historic major upset.[1] To date, the election marks the only time a Reform Party candidate won a major government office.
