• Optioned not to go for a second term as Minnesota governor citing lack of privacy and being in the public eye so much and he made this decision solely based on the fact that around the time he was elected into office a lot of political figures were under the microscope for things they did and having their personal lives thrust into the spotlight which spiraled into controversially challenged scandals that eventually destroyed careers and forced many to not seek re-election to their respective positions.
