Congressman Jim Hagedorn (MN-01) supports this agreement as a boon to the southern Minnesota economy. This agreement will increase southern Minnesota exports such as pork, poultry, dairy, sweet corn and ethanol, said Hagedorn. We must act in a bipartisan fashion to pass the Japan agreement immediately. This will expand our economy, create high-wage jobs and help build momentum for completion and passage of additional trade pacts with China, Vietnam and other nations. Jim Hagedorn was elected in 2018 to represent Minnesota's First District in the U.S. House of Representatives. He grew up on his family's grain and livestock farm near Truman. Jim's father, former U.S. Congressman Tom Hagedorn (MN-02), grandfather, and great-grandfather were all southern Minnesota farmers. Jim currently resides in the rural farming community of Blue Earth. Hagedorn brings policy experience to Capitol Hill from time spent as a congressional aide to former U.S. Congressman Arlan Stangeland (MN-07) and a congressional relations officer for two non-partisan U.S. Department of the Treasury agencies. Hagedorn serves on the House Committees on Agriculture and Small Business to promote farming, Main Street enterprises and southern Minnesota's way of life. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
