Everything about Wendell Anderson totally explained
Wendell Richard "Wendy" Anderson (born
February 1,
1933) was the 33rd
Governor of Minnesota, from
January 4,
1971 to
December 29,
1976. Born in
Saint Paul, Minnesota, he resigned the governor's office in order to be named
U.S. Senator to replace
Walter Mondale, who had been elected
Vice President of the United States. He served in the U.S. Senate from
December 30,
1976 until his resignation on
December 29,
1978 in the
94th and
95th congresses. He is a member of the
Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.
Anderson's signature accomplishment as governor was helping to create the
Minnesota Miracle of 1971, an innovative reform in financing of Minnesota public schools and local governments that created a fairer distribution in taxation and education.
Nearly the entire
DFL ticket was defeated in 1978, including Gov.
Rudy Perpich and the candidates for both
U.S. Senate seats. Anderson's arranging for his own appointment to the Senate and Perpich's role in it were factors in their defeats.
Anderson was drafted by the
Minnesota Fighting Saints in the inaugural
World Hockey Association draft in 1972. While flattered, Anderson chose to remain Governor.
From 1995 to 2001 he served as a director for and head of the legal committee of
Turbodyne Technologies Inc. (TRBD) in
Carpinteria, California.
Today, Anderson is regularly called upon to act as a
commentator on Minnesota politics for local stations such as
KSTP-TV. Anderson was a member of the U.S.
hockey team that won a silver medal at
1956 Winter Olympics. He earned his law degree from the
University of Minnesota Law School and served in the
United States Army from
1956 to
1957.
