Biography

Jesse Ventura, a renowned individual, was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Bernice Martha(Lenz),a dedicated nurse of German descent, and George William Janos, a skilled steam fitter of Slovak ancestry.

In November 1990, Jesse Ventura, a professional wrestler turned actor, achieved a significant milestone in his political career when he was elected to a four-year term as the mayor of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis with a population of around 56,000.

Following the conclusion of his mayoral term, Jesse Ventura purchased a small hobby farm in nearby Maple Grove, Minnesota, and relocated from Brooklyn Park, marking a new chapter in his life.

In November 1998, Ventura, as a member of the Reform Party, secured a historic victory when he was elected Governor of Minnesota. He served in this esteemed position from 1999 to 2003, ultimately deciding not to run for a second term.
