Changes

Former professional wrestler [[Jesse Ventura]] won an upset victory for governor of [[Minnesota]] in 1998 running on the Reform Party ticket, the only victory by the Reform Party in a three way contest, garnering a plurality of 34%. The Reform Party held no seats in either legislative chamber, or any other state-wide statewide elected cabinet office. In the stalemate, people from both major parties, Republican and Democrat, filled appointed positions by the governor requiring legislative approval because of a lack of qualified personal from the Reform Party moreso than partisan opposition.
