In his fourth attempt for the seat, 2016 nominee Jim Hagedorn (R) defeated state Sen. Carla Nelson (R) in the Republican primary for Minnesota's 1st Congressional District.

Hagedorn, who lost to incumbent Rep. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) by less than one percentage point in the previous election cycle, earned the district party’s endorsement at its convention in April 2018.[1] He compared himself to Reps. John Kline (R-Minn.) and Collin Peterson (D-Minn.), who each ran three or more times before being elected in the state.[2]

Hagedorn aligned himself with President Donald Trump and emphasized the farming economy, energy, and national security in his campaign.[1][3]

Nelson, who had served in the state Senate since 2011, was endorsed by Susan B. Anthony List and the National Rifle Association and reportedly encouraged to run for the seat by national party leaders. Her campaign focused on healthcare, the federal budget, and education policy.[1]

State party officials were less supportive of her run, concerned they would lose control of the state Senate if a special election were called to fill her seat in a toss-up district.[4]

On the issue of tariffs, Nelson said that China should be held accountable for intellectual property theft but expressed concern with how tariffs could impact southern Minnesota's agricultural economy.[5]

Hagedorn said that he supported Trump's plan to reset trade rules with foreign countries and called threatened tariffs part of the negotiation process.[6]

Both candidates were named to the National Republican Congressional Committee’s “Contenders” program.[7]

Andrew Candler (R) and Steve Williams (R) also ran for the seat.

Although the district went for Trump in the 2016 presidential election by 15 points, the Democratic incumbent held on to his seat by less than a percentage point. Daily Kos identified this district as the most vulnerable Democratic House seat.[8]

Walz did not seek re-election, running for governor of Minnesota in 2018, instead.

Campaign website Facebook Twitter

After graduating from George Mason University, Hagedorn worked as a legislative aide to Rep. Arlan Stangeland (R-Minn.). Hagedorn worked as the director for legislative and public affairs for the Financial Management Service, a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, managing more than $2 trillion. He also worked as a congressional affairs officer for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.[2]

Hagedorn ran for Congress in 2010, 2014, and 2016. Commenting on his fourth congressional bid, Hagedorn said his desire to partner with President Donald Trump would help. "The people who supported President Trump in the last election, the people who almost got us over the finish line in the last election, they're not upset with the president," he said. "They're really upset with Washington, particularly Republicans in the Senate who have dragged their heels."[3]

On his campaign website, Hagedorn listed energy production, the death tax, and EPA regulations affecting farmers as some of his policy priorities.[9]

Republican Party Carla Nelson (R)

Nelson was first elected to the Minnesota State Senate representing District 26 in 2010. She earned her B.S. in education with an emphasis in special education from Drake University and her M.Ed. in teacher leadership from the University of Minnesota. Nelson's professional experience includes working as an educator and small business owner in the insurance industry.[10][11]

"We need someone who has a proven track record of conservative values and voting. And then, of course, it's imperative that we have someone who can win, and win in tough elections," Nelson said of her strengths as a candidate.[12]

Nelson identified affordable higher education, energy and environmental issues, and the repeal of Obamacare, as some of her policy priorities.[13]

Campaign tactics and strategies

Relationship with President Donald Trump

Hagedorn and Nelson both discussed their commitment to the Trump administration's agenda in a debate in November 2017:[14]

  • Hagedorn: "I want to be a conservative reinforcement in the U.S. House of Representatives led by Republicans to partner with our president to make the big changes necessary to keep moving our nation in this right direction."
  • Nelson: "I am running for Congress because just like you I am disgusted at the dysfunction that we're seeing in Washington, D.C. It is past time for Congress to stand with our president...and start putting America first."

The 2017 Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+5, meaning that in the previous two presidential elections, this district's results were 5 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Minnesota's 1st Congressional District the 190th most Republican nationally.[33]

FiveThirtyEight's September 2018 elasticity score for states and congressional districts measured "how sensitive it is to changes in the national political environment."
