Angie Craig, a U.S. Congress member representing Minnesota's 2nd district since 2019, has recently shared her perspectives on various national issues through a series of tweets. Her statements reflect her positions on agricultural support, government operations, and the Postal Service.

On March 10, 2025, Angie Craig expressed her appreciation for the Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance. She emphasized the importance of farmers to the economy by stating "When our nation’s farmers do better, our economy does too." She thanked the alliance for meeting with her last week.

The following day, March 11, 2025, she discussed governmental management in an interview with WCCO’s Esme Murphy. Craig criticized what she described as a "slash and burn approach" by the Administration towards running the government. She acknowledged the need to address waste but opposed measures that negatively impact veterans' support and bird flu research. In her words: "I support rooting out waste, fraud and abuse, but cutting the people who support our veterans and shuttering bird flu research is incompetent…"

Later that day, she addressed concerns about potential changes to the Postal Service. Craig voiced strong opposition to privatization efforts which she believes would harm postal employees and rural communities while increasing costs. She urged administrative action against such moves by stating: "Any attempts to privatize the Postal Service would be a betrayal to the more than 640,000 postal employees and devastate rural America as well as send costs skyrocketing."
