Angie Craig

I'm running for Congress to build a Minnesota for all of us - where every family gets a fair shot at an outstanding education, the career training or retraining for a good job, and a chance at a better life. I know how lucky I've been. And I'd like to repay that debt by serving my community.

I’ve got four months left in Congress

Dear John,   We were back in DC this week and I couldn’t help but think about the time I have left serving Minnesota’s Second District in Congress — and about the people and communities I’ve had the privilege of representing. I’ve got four months left. And I know exactly how I wan…

We need to pass gun safety legislation

  Dear John,   This week marks one year since the horrific shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis that left two dead, 29 injured and countless lives changed forever. The trauma the Annunciation community endured that day is indescribable. Kids, some as young as 5 y…

It’s almost the best time of the year!

Dear John,   Minnesota, it’s almost the best time of the year. You know what I’m talking about: the State Fair! And I think we can all agree, we need this.  I don’t have to tell you that it’s been a tough year in our state. Since last year’s State Fair, our communities have been roc…

A few summer highlights!

Dear John,   As a Member of Congress, summer is one of my favorite times of the year to connect with the folks in my district. As we approach September, I thought I’d take the time to reflect on some of my favorite moments in Minnesota this summer. In June, I got to celebrate Nat…

Setting our public safety officers up for success

Dear John,   This week, I was honored to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony for Lakeville’s First Responder Skills Training Center, also known as the FiRST Center. The FiRST Center is a state-of-the-art training facility that will serve public safety officers from Lakeville and acr…

Let's ban insider trading

Dear John,   Last week, House Republicans passed a so-called “stock trading ban,” which (spoiler alert) isn’t really a stock trading ban. Not only does it explicitly permit Members of Congress to insider trade – it conveniently exempts the President, the Vice President and the enti…

A busy week in Congress

Dear John,   This week was the last week before Congress breaks for the August district work period. And while it went by quickly, a lot happened!   Before I get into the nitty-gritty of Republicans’ legislative agenda this week, I want to share some good news! On Wednesday, I intro…

It’s time for a public option

Dear John,   It already costs too much to be sick in this country. But under the Trump Administration, health care costs have skyrocketed. President Trump and House Republicans’ historic cuts to Medicaid and attacks on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits have kicked millions …

Trump’s weekly temper-tantrum

Dear John,   This week, in a rare showing of bipartisanship, Congress passed the largest and most significant housing package in 30 years. The ROAD to Housing Act would help build more homes, lower costs, cut through red tape and prevent Wall Street from pricing Minnesotans out of …

Republicans’ disastrous budget (part two)

Dear John,   It’s that time of year again for Congress to pass a budget.   Last year’s budget bill – the “One Big Beautiful Bill” (or as I like to call it, the Big Ugly Bill) – kicked millions of kids, seniors and veterans off food assistance programs and sent health care costs s…
