I got to vote for Jesse when I lived in Champlin, MN. Funny story….before he ran for Governor he was the strength and conditioning coach for the Champlin Park High School football team. Big high school, about 2000 kids. One snowy late October day during practice he made the team cross a large retention pond to get to the island in the middle to “toughen em up”. Air temp was about 25F, Water was about 35F and was 4 to 5 feet deep and about 40 yards wide. Made the kids strip down to their shorts and get across.
This was in about 1997-ish. There were no repercussions!
He remained Mayor then won the Governor’s office!
Another one….A local reporter asked him….if you could be anything what would you be? He scratched his chin and said “a 38 double D bra so I could always be next to what I love the most”
And his most famous line…..”I ain’t got time to bleed.”
