Angie Craig, a U.S. Congress representative for Minnesota’s 2nd district since 2019, has shared several updates recently. These statements focus on gun control, community engagement, and housing affordability, touching on pressing societal issues and legislative initiatives. Angie Craig, originally from West Helena, Arkansas, is an advocate for student safety, community involvement, and housing solutions.

On April 17, 2025, Craig addressed a shooting incident at Florida State University (FSU), stating, "Two innocent people lost their lives today at the hands of a shooter at FSU and more are injured. Our students deserve to feel safe at school - and until we have responsible gun laws in this country, that won’t be the case. Enough has been enough for a long time." Craig emphasizes the need for responsible gun legislation to ensure student safety in educational institutions.

On April 18, 2025, Craig shared her attendance at a local event: "Yesterday, I stopped by the Dakota County Technical College chili cookoff. Nothing better than the chance to chat with Minnesota’s brilliant students over a bowl of chili! https://t.co/6RLo2JdHWG" This gathering reflects Craig's commitment to engaging with and understanding the aspirations of Minnesota’s youth.

Later the same day, Craig addressed housing affordability issues in Minnesota through legislative action: "We’ve got a problem when Minnesotans can’t afford to buy a house in the place where they grew up. That’s why I introduced a bipartisan bill to expand and strengthen the Affordable Housing Tax Credit and build more housing in our communities." Her efforts are directed toward introducing bipartisan legislation aimed at strengthening housing options for growing communities.

Angie Craig, a University of Memphis alumna, continues to advocate for change from her home in Prior Lake, emphasizing policy reforms that cater to safety, housing, and education.
