Rep. Jim Hagedorn of Minnesota has died at age 59 of kidney cancer, his wife says.
"While nothing can accurately prepare you for the unimaginable pain, intense sorrow, suffocating grief and seemingly never-ending emptiness that engulfs the entire body, soul and spirit when your forever love passes away; at least we can smile knowing Jim is smiling from heaven encouraging us to keep chasing our dreams, loving unconditionally and fighting for the country," Jennifer Carnahan said Friday.Minnesota"Every moment of every day he lived his dream by serving others.
Hagedorn had been diagnosed in Feb. 2019 with stage 4 kidney cancer. He announced last July that the cancer had returned after undergoing several tests at the Mayo Clinic. "The new diagnosis was surprising considering that just 14 weeks ago no cancer was detected. But, as every cancer survivor knows, you fight the disease each and every day," he said at the time."Even the best of recoveries present unexpected challenges like I am facing."
Hagedorn had served in Congress since Jan. 2019, representing Minnesota's 1st congressional district, which is a largely rural area that borders Wisconsin, Iowa and South Dakota. His father, Tom Hagedorn, served in Congress from 1975 to 1983.
