Angie Craig, a U.S. Congress member representing Minnesota’s 2nd district since 2019, recently expressed her views on various issues through social media posts. Her statements reflect both personal sentiments and political stances on current events.

On March 13, 2025, Angie Craig shared her condolences regarding the passing of Rep. Raúl Grijalva. She expressed her sorrow and reflected on her time serving alongside him in Congress. "I'm deeply saddened to hear the news of Rep. Grijalva's passing. I was honored to serve beside Raúl in Congress, and my thoughts are with his family."

The following day, March 14, 2025, Craig commented on a legal decision involving federal employees. She noted that a federal judge had ordered the reinstatement of workers who were unlawfully dismissed from six government agencies due to budget cuts by the Administration. She criticized these cuts as not only irresponsible but also illegal: "A federal judge is ordering the Administration to reinstate federal workers unlawfully fired from six government agencies. Turns out these irresponsible across-the-board cuts are not only wrong, they’re illegal."

Later that day, she addressed another policy decision by the Administration concerning healthcare costs for seniors. Craig opposed plans to remove a cap on generic prescription drug prices, highlighting potential negative impacts on senior citizens while benefiting large corporations: "This Administration is going ahead with their plan to cut the $2 a month cap on generic prescription drugs. Raising your costs on lifesaving medications might be good for big corporations, but it’ll be disastrous for our nation’s seniors."
