St. Paul – Today, Rep. Steve Drazkowski (R-Mazeppa) made the following statement:
“This morning, along with the rest of Minnesota, I learned that Congressman Jim Hagedorn has passed away.
This news came as a shock particularly because Jim had fought his cancer diagnosis so bravely. Always a true patriot, Jim served the people of Minnesota’s First Congressional District to the very end. As a friend of his, I know that the district is so much better for Jim’s service. In the midst of some of the most trying times for our country, Jim always served with courage and strength.
My heart goes out to Jennifer and their family and wider circle of friends. My thoughts are also with his constituents who have lost a good man who served them well.”
