Law and Order: The Career and Legacy of Minneapolis Mayor Charles Stenvig

In 1969, just months after Hubert H. Humphrey narrowly lost the Presidential election to Richard Nixon, the city where he began his political career, Minneapolis, elected a mayor with no previous political experience, no party affiliation, and no platform aside from his pledge to “take the handcuffs off the police.� Labeled the “George Wallace of the North� by his opponents, Charles Stenvig’s 1969 mayoral victory marked a decisive shift in Minneapolis’ political landscape.
Minnesota had long been a stronghold of New Deal liberalism and progressive politics as illustrated by the careers
of Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy, and Walter Mondale. Campaigning on the themes of “law and order,� resentment against so-called student and black militants, Christian values, and fiscal conservatism, Stenvig was elected
for three separate terms as mayor.
