History
After serving in the Minnesota State Senate, Mondale sought the Democratic primary nomination for Minnesota governor in 1998.[citation needed] Coincidentally, the race included three other candidates from families famously connected in Minnesota politics: Skip Humphrey, the son of former Vice President Hubert Humphrey (then Attorney General); Mark Dayton of the Dayton Department Store dynasty (then State Auditor); and Mike Freeman, son of former governor Orville Freeman (then Hennepin County, Minnesota district attorney).[citation needed] Mondale, who was more fiscally moderate than the other candidates and who had distanced himself from labor, did not prevail in the primary.[citation needed]
In 1999, Mondale was appointed chairman of the Metropolitan Council in the Cabinet of Governor Jesse Ventura.[citation needed] He oversaw the initiation of high density housing/retail development in the Twin Cities, as well as light-rail transportation planning from the suburban areas to the central cities.[citation needed] In 2011, he was named chair of the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission by Governor Mark Dayton.[4] In 2012, Mondale was named the CEO of the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority[1]
Family
Mondale was married to Pam, with whom he has three children; the couple divorced in 2013.[5][not in citation given] Mondale's sister, Eleanor Mondale (1960–2011), was a television personality who had brain cancer from 2005 until her death from the disease at age 51.[6] Mondale's brother, William H. Mondale, born on February 27, 1962, is an assistant Hennepin County Attorney and a former Assistant Attorney General for the State of Minnesota from 1990 to 2000.[citation needed].
