In his political career, between the years 1938 and 1994, Harold Stassen, a Republican, ran many campaigns for public office. He was elected governor of Minnesota three times, in 1938, 1940, and 1942.

Stassen ran for Republican nomination for President of the United States in 1944, 1948, 1952, 1964, 1968, 1972, 1980, 1984, 1988, and 1992. In his 1948 and 1952 campaigns, he ran competitively, but his other candidacies made little impact. He was regarded as a perennial candidate.
