Always a fan of the University of Minnesota, Gov. Carlson's Official Portrait hanging in the Minnesota State Capitol shows him wearing a "U" letter jacket.
He served in office as a Republican, but his positions were generally considered moderate and he is remembered as a champion of bipartisanship. In September 2004, he described himself politically as an independent. From 1965 to 1977, he was married to Barbara Carlson, who went on to also serve on the Minneapolis City Council and run for mayor. She was in the 1990s a radio talk show host on KSTP-AM, owned by Hubbard Broadcasting Corporation. Together, they had a son, Tucker, (no relation to the CNN personality) and two daughters, Christina (dec.) and Anne. Carlson's second wife was Joanne. They had no children. Carlson had a daughter with his third wife, Susan, who served as First Lady of Minnesota.
Arne appears frequently as a singer at the top jazz venues in the Twin Cities, and served as the opening act for Rosemary Clooney during her December 2001 appearance at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis.
