He defeated incumbent governor Karl Rolvaag, served four years, and never ran&amp;nbsp;for office again. He had been a star athlete in college, in football and track, and a national champion orator. He practiced law in Harold Stassen's&amp;nbsp;firm, where he represented rural electric power cooperatives and the South St. Paul stockyards. As a Republican governor, he helped enact a remarkably progressive&amp;nbsp;agenda that included creation of the sales tax, the Metropolitan&amp;nbsp;Council, and the Minnesota Department of Human Rights.
