Angie Craig, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Minnesota's 2nd district since 2019, has recently shared her insights and legislative efforts through a series of tweets. Craig, who succeeded Jason Lewis in office, is known for her commitment to bipartisan initiatives and educational advocacy.

On March 12, 2025, Angie Craig tweeted about her collaboration with Representative Finstad to support Minnesota's farmers. She stated, "I’m working across the aisle with @RepFinstad to give Minnesota’s farmers the certainty they need to continue operating in challenging times." The tweet highlights their joint effort on the bipartisan PACE Act aimed at strengthening generational farming operations and providing new farmers access to necessary capital.

Later that day, Craig emphasized the significance of public institutions like the University of Minnesota in opening doors for students and leading critical research and development. In her tweet posted at 18:09 UTC, she expressed enthusiasm after speaking with the UMN Alumni Association by stating, "Public institutions like the University of Minnesota open doors for students in our state and spearhead critical R&D."

In another tweet posted at 23:18 UTC on March 12, Craig voiced concerns regarding recent changes within the Department of Education. She criticized an administrative decision that she perceived as detrimental to education priorities by saying, "The Administration just gutted the Department of Education." This statement underscores her belief that education should remain a national priority.
