I don't think anyone has done this yet. A little nugget from my homestate.
No Minnesotan has ever been elected to the Presidency, but Minnesotans ran for the major party nomination in every election from 1944-1992 (with the exception of 1956). Since 1992, only twice has this happened again, both times in 2012.
This is because between Harold Stassen, Hubert Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy, and Walter Mondale, Minnesota was having a field day in national politics. However, Humphrey and Mondale were too liberal to win in a general election, Stassen was too liberal to be the Republican nominee, and McCarthy started his career in Presidential politics by ending the presidency of someone popular with Democrats.
