Angie Craig, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Minnesota's 2nd district since 2019, shared updates on her legislative activities and priorities through a series of tweets. These posts focus on mental health care access, addressing healthcare worker shortages, and supporting new farmers in Minnesota.

On December 6, 2024, Craig welcomed Sue to Washington D.C. She stated: "Welcome to DC, Sue! I met with @NAMIMinnesota in my Washington office this week to ensure we’re doing everything we can to expand access to affordable and reliable mental health care as we head into the 119th Congress."

Later that day, she addressed the healthcare worker shortage by emphasizing education and training for students in related fields. Craig announced: "We must act to address our health care worker shortage – that means ensuring nursing & allied health students can get the hands-on education & training they need at hospitals & medical centers. That’s exactly what my bipartisan Rebuild America’s Health Care Schools Act will do."

Finally, on the same date, Craig highlighted her efforts in Congress to support new farmers in Minnesota. She tweeted: "I’m working across the aisle in Congress to ensure Minnesota’s new and beginning farmers can access the support they need to break into family farming by strengthening the farm safety net expanding access to crop insurance protections investing in climate-safe ag practices."
