Tim Pawlenty (R)
|
|
Gov. Jesse Ventura's four-year Independence Party revolution ends in this: a brief U.S. Senate stint for political ally Dean Barkley and return of his office to a Republican, State House Majority Leader Tim Pawlenty. Pawlenty, 42, a St. Paul native and University of Minnesota Law School grad, easily defeated his counterpart in the Senate Democratic leadership, Roger Moe, and Independent Tim Penny, Ventura's choice for the job. Pawlenty counts his sponsorship of Minnesota's Internet Privacy bill earlier this year among his chief legislative accomplishments and campaigned on a platform of new state education standards and attracting high-tech jobs to Minnesota.
