Former GOP Chair Jennifer Carnahan ordered to repay medical expenses for late congressman husband

A judge has ordered Jennifer Carnahan, widow of the late U.S. Rep. Jim Hagedorn, to reimburse the congressman's family members for more than $20,000 that they spent on his medical expenses.

Faribault County District Judge Troy Timmerman on Wednesday ordered Carnahan to repay the family members for the medical care given to Hagedorn, who died in February 2022 after battling kidney cancer and COVID-19.

Carnahan said Thursday that she plans to appeal the decision and bring counter claims in district court.
