MINNEAPOLIS — The former chair of Minnesota's Republican Party is running for Congress just months after fellow GOP leaders helped force her from power.
Jennifer Carnahan announced Monday she is running in Minnesota's 1st Congressional District in hopes of winning the seat held by her late husband, Jim Hagedorn.
Carnahan enters a crowded field of more than a dozen candidates for the 1st District seat, including a host of Republicans, Democrats and a third-party candidate running under the Legal Marijuana Now banner.
