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.Britt Robson http://www.citypages.com/databank/27/1343/article14661.asp Running Man City Pages August 30, 2006 November 10, 2006 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20070108113629/http://citypages.com/databank/27/1343/article14661.asp January 8, 2007 Republican primary Candidates Leslie Davis, 1994 Minneapolis mayoral candidate Tim Pawlenty, Minnesota House of Representatives majority leader Results 2002 Republican gubernatorial primary election Tim Pawlenty Republican Party of Minnesota 172,927 88.64 Leslie Davis Republican Party of Minnesota 22,172 11.36 195,099 100.00 DFL primary In May 2002, the DFL formally endorsed Moe over rival Judi Dutcher, the Minnesota state auditor.
