Harold Edward Stassen (April 13, 1907 – March 4, 2001) was an American politician, military officer, attorney, and member of the Republican Party who was the 25th governor of Minnesota from 1939 to 1943. He was a leading candidate for the Republican nomination for president of the United States in 1948, considered for a time to be the front-runner, but came second to New York governor Thomas Dewey. He thereafter regularly continued to run for that and other offices, such that his name became most identified with his status as a perennial candidate. More about Harold Stassen
