Jesse Ventura

People treated his candidacy as a joke, but this professional wrestler, actor, author, and veteran proved everyone wrong. Jesse Ventura shocked the nation by winning his bid for governor of Minnesota, where he served from 1999 to 2003 as a member of the Reform Party. Perhaps the residents of Minnesota liked the work he’d done as mayor of Brooklyn Park from 1991 to 1995.
You may already have known that information, but here’s something you didn’t know about him: Ventura is an avid supporter of a three-party political system, and has been a blunt and vocal critic of both the Democratic and Republican parties.
