Angie Craig, serving in the U.S. Congress as the representative for Minnesota’s 2nd district since 2019, has recently taken to social media to address significant national issues. Her tweets focus on pressing economic concerns, regulatory measures, and advocacy for rural America.

On April 28, 2025, at 4:30 PM UTC, Craig addressed the economic impact of the President's trade policies, criticizing the administration for actions she suggests resemble insider trading. She stated, "While business owners & retirees are reeling from the President’s trade war, his wealthy allies are getting richer. A group of insiders placed million-dollar trades minutes before his tariff reversal. Sounds a lot like insider trading to me. I’m demanding answers."

Later that day, at 6:15 PM UTC, Craig expressed her approval of the Environmental Protection Agency's decision to permit the sale of E15 fuel this summer. She remarked, "Today, EPA heeded my call to allow the sale of E15 this summer. This is great news for producers and consumers – and a step in the right direction toward codifying nationwide year-round E15. I’ve got a bipartisan bill to do just that and it’s time to get it signed into law."

At 9:50 PM UTC, Craig also spoke at the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association’s Legislative Conference and conveyed her meetings with the Minnesota Rural Electric Association. She emphasized the importance of investing in rural America, writing "Today, I spoke at the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association’s Legislative Conference and met with the MN Rural Electric Association. We’ve got to invest in rural America again, and the rural electric co-ops powering our communities are leading the way."

Craig, who was born in West Helena, Arkansas, and currently resides in Prior Lake, replaced Jason Lewis in her congressional role and holds a degree from the University of Memphis.
