Angie Craig, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Minnesota's 2nd district since 2019, recently shared her thoughts on several issues via social media. Her comments covered topics ranging from healthcare to postal service cuts and funding for community projects.

On March 23, 2025, Craig reflected on the Affordable Care Act (ACA), marking its 15th anniversary. She emphasized the importance of extending ACA premium tax credits to maintain affordable healthcare access for Minnesotans. "15 years ago, Congress passed the Affordable Care Act to lower health care costs and expand coverage to millions of Americans. In order to ensure Minnesotans can continue to access affordable health care, we have to extend the ACA premium tax credits this year, and I’ll be".

Later that day, Craig addressed a protest by Minnesota postal employees at the state capitol against proposed cuts at USPS. She criticized plans by DeJoy and DOGE as detrimental to mail service and harmful to Minnesota communities already facing challenges with mail delivery. "Today, MN postal employees gathered at the state capitol to protest sweeping cuts at USPS that will worsen mail service & make their jobs harder. DeJoy & DOGE’s disastrous plan will deal a major blow to MN communities who are already suffering from unacceptable mail service."

In another post on March 23, Craig expressed concern over a Republican-backed funding bill that removed support for previously negotiated community projects in Minnesota. She warned that this could lead to project cancellations, stalled construction timelines, and job losses among union workers in the state. "The partisan funding bill the Republicans passed stripped funding for community projects we already negotiated. That means projects across Minnesota canceled, construction stalled and timelines extended. It also means good-paying union jobs will be lost and workers will be left".
