Angie Craig, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Minnesota's 2nd district since 2019, has shared her perspectives on various issues through a series of tweets. Born in West Helena, Arkansas in 1972 and currently residing in Prior Lake, Craig graduated from the University of Memphis in 1994 with a BA.

On January 23, 2025, Angie Craig expressed concern over an action by the new administration that she believes will negatively impact seniors. She stated: "This action by the new administration will gut the $2 a month cap on generic prescriptions drugs. Raising prices on America’s seniors is not going to make life better for anyone."

Later that day, at 19:23 UTC, Craig tweeted about her meeting with Dan Glessing, President of the Minnesota Farm Bureau. She emphasized her commitment to working with Minnesota farmers and producers for bipartisan legislation: "Always great to meet with @MNFarmBureau President Dan Glessing. As we work on getting a bipartisan farm bill passed this Congress, I'm working closely with Minnesota farmers and producers."

In another tweet posted at 21:55 UTC on January 23, Craig addressed reproductive care issues. She affirmed her stance against criminalizing healthcare providers and pledged support for those serving Minnesota's 2nd district: "When it comes to reproductive care, we should be supporting and protecting our health care providers, not criminalizing them. I will always stand up against extremist attacks on #MN02’s providers and the patients they serve."
