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 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.
