Rep. Hagedorn Hosts Lively Town Hall

Rep. Jim Hagedorn, R-Blue Earth, held a lively town hall in Faribault on Saturday, sharing his views and accomplishments over his first year in Congress while fending off harsh criticisms from some of his more liberal constituents.

Held at Faribault Middle School, Saturday’s event was Hagedorn’s 20th in-person town hall since his election. He also held a town hall in Le Center on Saturday, and will hold a town hall at Waseca High School at 6:30 p.m. Monday.

The Faribault town hall is part of Hagedorn’s pledge to hold town hall events in every county in the district. The first district spans all or part of 21 counties in southern Minnesota
