Jesse Ventura -- Body And Mind He's big, he's loud, he's hard to ignore. On November 3rd, 1998, pro-wrestling star Jesse Ventura was elected governor of Minnesota State. Some other entertainers have successfully gone into politics such as former Mayor Clint Eastwood, Senator Fred Thompson, Congressman Sonny Bono, and President Ronald Reagan. These victories were no surprise mostly because they were all either Democrat or Republican and already in the public eye. Jesse Ventura was voted in on the Reform Party ticket. He was not a beloved actor or recording artist, he was a foul-mouthed former pro-wrestler. Though political commentators took the man nicknamed "Jesse The Body" to be a joke, Ventura's voice was heard by the voters. His enemies hate to admit it, but Ventura's fresh political attitude has been very beneficial for his state. Jesse Ventura's independent political stance has won him support and been a catalyst for positive change for Minnesota. Ventura appeals to voters because people feel he is 'one of us'. In his own words, "I stand for the common man because I am him" (Ventura, 3). He was not born famous with the catchy name "Jesse Ventura".
