I am thrilled that after several months of collaboration with the FAA and U.S. Department of Transportation, Mankato Regional Airport will receive $337,770 for the construction of new taxiways and runway improvements that will enhance safety and efficiency for business aviation, flight training and our regional economy. Thank you to Secretary Chao, the FAA and the hardworking men and women at Mankato Regional for making this possible, said Hagedorn. 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 |
