He served as a United States Senator from the State of Minnesota from 1995 until 2001. Born in the town of Princeton, Minnesota (about 50 miles north of Minneapolis), he was raised on a dairy farm.

He worked for stations in Montana, Wisconsin and later Illinois, in addition to heading a construction company which specialized in residential development. After finding an interest in the political arena, Grams was elected to the US Congress in 1992. During his tenures in both the US House of Representatives and US Senate the highly-conservative Grams fought for reducing government spending.
