Angie Craig, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Minnesota's 2nd district since 2019, recently shared personal and political insights through her social media platform. Born in West Helena, Arkansas in 1972 and currently residing in Prior Lake, Craig has been active in addressing both familial and statewide concerns.

On May 11, 2025, Craig expressed pride in her family life by stating "My wife Cheryl and I couldn’t be prouder of our four sons, and being their moms has been the greatest blessing of our lives. To all the moms in Minnesota—Happy Mother’s Day!" This message highlights her personal connection to Mother's Day celebrations.

Later that day, she addressed healthcare issues facing rural Minnesotans with a tweet at 21:57 UTC saying "Too many rural Minnesotans struggle to access affordable health care. I’m working to close the gap—so every Minnesotan, no matter their zip code, has access to the care they need." This reflects her ongoing commitment to improving healthcare accessibility across different regions.

On May 12, 2025, Craig voiced her opposition to proposed funding cuts by Republicans for programs like SNAP and Medicaid. She tweeted "Republicans are heading into this week hell-bent on cutting funding for programs like SNAP and Medicaid to fund tax cuts for the wealthy and large corporations – but I won’t go down without a fight." This statement underscores her dedication to defending social welfare programs against budget reductions aimed at benefiting wealthier entities.

As an alumna of the University of Memphis with a BA degree obtained in 1994, Angie Craig continues to advocate for policies that align with her constituents' needs while maintaining personal ties within Minnesota.
