Angie Craig, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Minnesota's 2nd district since 2019, recently shared her views on various topics through social media posts. Craig, who succeeded Jason Lewis in office, has been active in discussing issues pertinent to her constituents.

On March 4, 2025, Angie Craig paid tribute to Felicia Reilly, describing her as "a hero who went above and beyond to protect her community." She emphasized the importance of supporting law enforcement officers by stating that they "deserve our support and all the resources they need to stay safe on the job." "Felicia Reilly was a hero who went above and beyond to protect her community. May she rest in peace."

Later that day, Craig addressed concerns about potential cuts to Social Security and Medicaid. She urged Speaker Johnson to oppose such measures, arguing for targeted spending cuts instead of across-the-board reductions that would negatively impact Minnesotans. "Minnesotans rely on Social Security and Medicaid. I’m urging @SpeakerJohnson to oppose cuts to those vital programs."

On March 5, 2025, Angie Craig highlighted Denise Specht's contributions to education. Specht has worked as both an elementary and middle school teacher and currently serves as president of Education Minnesota. Craig expressed her honor in having Specht as her guest at the State of the Union address. "Denise Specht has dedicated her life to education – both as an elementary and middle school teacher."
