who is the governor of minnesota

The current governor of Minnesota is Tim Walz, who is serving his second term in office as of early 2026.

He was first elected governor in 2018 and then re‑elected in 2022, making him the 41st person to hold the office in the state. Although he has announced that he will not run for a third term in the 2026 gubernatorial race, that decision affects the next election, not his current status, so he remains the sitting governor right now.
