This was after 1960 when MN Governors term as a 4 year term.
Arne Carlson served 2 terms(1991-1999)
Tim Pawlenty served 2 terms(2003-2011) Jesse the Body Ventura served 1 term from(1999-2003.)
Mark Dayton served 2 terms(2011-2019)
Tim Walz is likely to serve 2 terms(2019-2027).

The candidates that are likely to succeed Walz are Lt Governor Peggy Flanagan, Secretary of State Steve Simon, and Attorney General Keith Ellison.

Tim Walz decides not to seek re-election to a 3rd term for Governor of MN in 2026. His Lt Governor Peggy Flanagan replaces him. Flanagan will be the 1st female Governor of Minnesota.
