Election for the governorship of the U.S. state of Minnesota
The 1974 Minnesota gubernatorial election took place on November 5, 1974. The 1974 election was the first election where the Governor and Lieutenant Governor ran on the same ticket. Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party candidate Wendell Anderson defeated Republican Party of Minnesota challenger John W. Johnson. Anderson won every single county in the state, becoming the first person to do so since Governor J.A.A. Burnquist in 1916. This was the last time until 1994 that a candidate would win every single county in a statewide election.
