Angie Craig, a U.S. Congress member representing Minnesota's 2nd district since 2019, has recently expressed her views on several key issues through social media. Born in West Helena, Arkansas in 1972 and currently residing in Prior Lake, Craig graduated from the University of Memphis with a BA in 1994.

On June 3, 2025, Angie Craig highlighted the importance of labor unions for Minnesotans. She stated that "Labor unions guarantee livable wages and ensure safe working conditions for hardworking Minnesotans, and we must protect their right to organize and collectively bargain." Emphasizing legislative action, she added, "We’ve got to keep fighting to pass the PRO Act."

Later that day, Craig addressed educational programs for children. She mentioned her efforts to secure federal funding by saying "Head Start prepares our children to grow into the best versions of themselves – and we’ve got to keep fighting to ensure these programs are fully funded." She proudly announced securing $1,836,883 in federal funding for Head Start programs in Scott, Carver and Dakota counties.

On June 4, 2025, Craig focused on political integrity by participating in an initiative against corruption. She tweeted about launching a new legislative agenda aimed at reforming Washington: "Proud to stand with my colleagues today to launch the End Corruption Now legislative agenda to clean up Washington and prevent elected officials from profiting off their positions." She emphasized restoring integrity within democracy by prioritizing American citizens.
