2002 Minnesota gubernatorial election

Common card · No. 241746

The 2002 Minnesota gubernatorial election took place on November 5, 2002 for the post of governor of Minnesota. Governor Jesse Ventura chose not to seek re-election to a second term in office. Republican state representative Tim Pawlenty defeated Democratic state senator Roger Moe and Independence Party candidate Tim Penny. Pawlenty comfortably won the election, which was attributed in part to Moe's uninspired campaign; Moe would be dubbed a "cautious dullard" four years later by the City Pages.
