My office’s fall semester internship application is now open in both my Eagan and Washington, D.C. offices!”

Later that day, Craig criticized her Republican colleagues for passing what she described as “the largest cut to Medicaid in history.” She expressed concern over potential impacts on Minnesotans, predicting longer wait times in emergency rooms as a result of these cuts. She attributed these actions to prioritizing tax breaks for the wealthy over healthcare needs. “Last week, my Republican colleagues passed the largest cut to Medicaid in history.”

In another post from July 8th, Craig questioned whether agricultural stakeholders were consulted regarding a new policy proposal or initiative affecting farmers. This brief commentary suggested skepticism about its practicality without input from those directly impacted. “Hm. I wonder if anyone bothered to ask a farmer if this would work?”

Angie Craig has served Minnesota’s 2nd District since succeeding Jason Lewis in 2019. Born in West Helena, Arkansas, she holds a BA from the University of Memphis and resides in Prior Lake.
