Rep. Jim Hagedorn said he will conduct a campaign tour hitting all the 1st Congressional District's 21 counties in the days leading up to Election Day.

"From my first campaign for Congress, and continuing to this year, I've made it a point to travel to all four corners of the district multiple times to listen to concerns and discuss the issues of importance to residents," Hagedorn said in a statement.

Hagedorn is seeking his second two-year term in a race against DFL challenger Dan Feehan. Two years ago, he beat Feehan by a mere 1,300 votes and this year's race has the potential to be close as well. The Cook Political Report has judged the contest to be a toss up, meaning either side can win.

Hagedorn is scheduled to campaign in Olmsted County on Friday, the same day that President Donald Trump is speaking at the Rochester airport.
