In 1999, Ventura had a public disagreement with erstwhile Reform Party leader [[Ross Perot]] over Perot's control of the party and with [[Pat Buchanan]]'s seeking the party's 2000 nomination, and Ventura took the Minnesota branch independent of the national Reform Party to become the Independence Party of Minnesota. In 2002, Ventura appointed his fellow Reform/Independence Party politican [[Dean Barkley]] to the U.S. Senate to fill out the remaining two months in the term of the deceased [[Paul Wellstone]].
