WCCO's Pat Kessler retiring as daily reporter after 36 years

Longtime WCCO-TV reporter Pat Kessler announced on Wednesday his retirement covering daily politics and government, effective once the 2020 presidential election is decided.

In his 36 years with the station, Kessler has reported on the administrations of eight Minnesota governors and dozens of legislative sessions and political conventions, and chronicled the presidential campaigns of multiple Minnesotans.

His credits include coverage of the death of Hubert Humphrey, the upset victory of celebrity wrestler-turned-Gov. Jesse Ventura, and the plane crash that killed U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone.
Kessler, 67, was among the first reporters in the nation to publicly fact-check politicians on TV, debuting WCCO’s “Reality Check” for the 1996 Minnesota U.S. Senate election.

He interviewed hundreds of state and national officials, including presidents and future presidents from Jimmy Carter to Donald Trump.
