Hagedorn’s Scandal-Plagued Widow Eyes His Seat

“The late Rep. Jim Hagedorn’s (R-MN) widow is laying the groundwork to try to seek his old seat in Minnesota, according to multiple well-placed Republicans who are already raising alarms about her polarizing background,” Politico reports.

“Republicans are preparing for Jennifer Carnahan (R) to launch her campaign for Minnesota’s 1st District as early as Friday… But Carnahan resigned the Minnesota Republican chair position last summer amid a scandal that began when a donor got charged with multiple counts of sex trafficking.”
