Angie Craig, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Minnesota's 2nd district since 2019, has recently expressed her views on government spending and service efficiency through a series of tweets. Born in West Helena, Arkansas, in 1972 and residing in Prior Lake, Craig graduated from the University of Memphis with a BA in 1994.
On March 9, 2025, Craig stated that "The government absolutely needs to fight waste, fraud and abuse and become more efficient. That’s why I support cutting government spending that isn’t serving everyday Minnesotans – but that’s not what we’ve seen so far." This tweet highlights her stance on the need for efficient use of government resources.
In another tweet posted on the same day, she criticized job cuts by stating "Across-the-board job cuts do nothing but threaten Minnesotans’ access to essential services and hinder critical programs that our neighbors rely on – and they hurt the economy too." Her comments reflect concerns about the impact of indiscriminate job reductions on essential services and economic stability.
On March 10, 2025, Craig addressed issues related to postal services by noting "With the first quarterly report of 2025, we’re seeing yet again that USPS service continues to decline. I am doubling down on my call for USPS to re-evaluate their leadership and find a strategy that works for Minnesota." This statement underscores her demand for improved leadership within USPS to better serve Minnesota residents.
