UPDATE: CBS News reports that a suspect has been arrested in the attack earlier this week on our friend, Minnesota Congresswoman Angie Craig. Rep. Craig says, "I was very, very lucky that I was not more injured."
She continues, "I wanted to let everyone know that the outpouring of support from friends, constituents and colleagues has been overwhelming. From myself, Cheryl and our entire family, thank you."

EARLIER EMAIL:
Our friend, Minnesota Congresswoman Angie Craig, was assaulted yesterday in her Washington D.C. apartment building elevator.
A man did push ups on the floor, then got up, punched her in the face, and held her neck. She threw hot coffee on him and escaped -- bruised but ok.
Angie attended our National Candidate Training and flipped a red district in 2018. She won re-election by 2 points -- but she was not cautious and scared.
She boldly fought Big Pharma and Big Oil -- and was a leader pushing for the full Build Back Better agenda including child care, Child Tax Credits, Medicare expansion, and taxing the ultra-wealthy. Even after the attack, she kept fighting -- going to the Capitol and taking 3 votes.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
