Angie Craig, U.S. Congresswoman representing Minnesota’s 2nd district since 2019, has used her social media platform to address a range of national and local issues in recent days.
On May 1, Craig responded to a judicial decision affecting reproductive rights, stating: “This misguided and dangerous decision is yet another attack on access to reproductive care and a stark reminder that we can’t rely on our courts to protect the right to abortion. It’s long overdue for Congress to codify Roe v. Wade and I won’t stop fighting until we do.”
The following day, she updated constituents about immigration enforcement facilities in Minnesota: “Last week, ICE finally gave me the answers I demanded months ago about the potential opening of new ICE detention centers in Shakopee and Woodbury. They confirmed that neither of these projects are moving forward. This is a direct result of state and local leaders like” (May 2).
On May 3, Craig addressed economic concerns related to tariffs imposed by former President Trump: “American businesses and consumers alike are being slammed with President Trump’s tariffs – but with a volatile market and rising costs, 95% of tariff costs have fallen on consumers. I’m leading the charge alongside @RepHorsford to ensure large corporations don’t pass tariff costs”.
Craig was born in West Helena, Arkansas in 1972 and currently resides in Prior Lake. She graduated from the University of Memphis in 1994 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Before her election to Congress—where she succeeded Jason Lewis—she built her career outside politics.
