Paying Attention to District Needs

Congressman Jim Hagedorn (R-MN1) spent the day Friday doing Main Street campaigning and speaking to residents in Austin and Albert Lea. Hagedorn said he has been to about 50 cities throughout the district since the pandemic began.

In serving in Congress these two years, we paid attention to the needs of this district,\u201d he told the Herald. \u201cAs far as the district\u2019s interests are concerned, the voters are mostly concerned about agriculture, small business and medical care.\u00a0 Those line up with the economic interests of the district and line up with what I\u2019ve been looking out for this first term.

Hagedorn said he has heard good things from local farmers, citing rising prices of soybeans and corn as well as bumper crops as reasons.
