Minnesota Rep. Hagedorn dies of cancer
BY REID WILSON - 02/18/22 08:59 AM EST

Rep. Jim Hagedorn (R-Minn.) has died after a two-year-long battle with kidney cancer, his wife announced Friday morning.

Hagedorn, 59, had served in Congress since 2019, after winning a district along his state’s southern border with Iowa. He followed his father, Tom Hagedorn, who represented the same district in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
