  • The 2006 Minnesota gubernatorial election took place on November 7, 2006. Incumbent Tim Pawlenty was endorsed by the state Republican convention on June 2, 2006, while the state Democratic-Farmer-Labor convention endorsed Mike Hatch on June 10, 2006. The statewide party primaries took place on September 12, 2006, with Hatch defeating DFL challengers Becky Lourey and Ole Savior and incumbent Pawlenty defeating Sue Jeffers. In the November 7th general election Pawlenty received a plurality of the votes and defeated Hatch by a margin of one percent. It is widely believed that Hatch's lead in the polls quickly evaporated just days before the election after his Lt. Governor candidate's response to a question about ethanol posed by a KSAX-TV reporter.
