Tim Pawlenty, an American politician, has a net worth of $3 million.
Besides his wealth, Tim Pawlenty, the former governor of Minnesota and a republican politician, is recognized as one of the more sensible conservatives in the public eye today.
By dropping out of the 2012 presidential race, he made history by finishing third in the Iowa straw poll, trailing behind Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann.
In 1990, Pawlenty’s political career began in Minnesota when he worked as a campaign manager for Jon Grunseth, whose campaign failed to secure enough votes to secure Grunseth’s victory in the election.
Following his election as governor of Minnesota in 2003, Pawlenty caused controversy by appointing Vicky Tigwell, the former wife of Grunseth, to a high-profile position. In 1992, Pawlenty won his first state election, being elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives.
Despite being reelected four times, Pawlenty’s popularity in Minnesota remained relatively constant.
Following his election as governor of Minnesota, Pawlenty served two terms in a two-term cycle before running for president.
In 2008, Pawlenty was rumored to be among the leading candidates for John McCain’s vice presidency.
