St Paul (KROC AM News)  -  The condolences are pouring in concerning the passing of First District Congressman Jim Hagedorn.

The Republican who has represented southeast and south-central Minnesota died Thursday at age 59 after a lengthy battle with kidney cancer.

One of those sending condolences was Democratic Gov. Tim Walz, who had served as 1st District Congressman before running for governor.  He narrowly beat Hagedorn twice before deciding to run for governor.
