He attended American University where he was a member of the Alpha Sigma Phi, Beta Chi chapter, and is a graduate University of Minnesota Law School. Humphrey was elected to the Minnesota Senate in 1972 and served as a state senator from 1973 to 1983. He was elected attorney general in 1982. He served as Attorney General of Minnesota from 1983-1999.
