Angie Craig, a current U.S. Congress member representing Minnesota’s 2nd district, recently shared several updates through her social media platform. Her messages covered a range of topics from local agricultural support to concerns about healthcare changes in Minnesota.

On July 8, 2025, Angie Craig addressed agricultural producers in Minnesota who have been affected by recent severe weather. She announced that resources are available to assist them and provided a link for further information: "ANNOUNCEMENT If you are an agricultural producer in Minnesota who has been impacted by recent severe weather, resources are available to help."

The following day, on July 9, 2025, she criticized the Republican-passed budget which she claims will affect Medicaid coverage. According to Craig's post: "It’s been one week since Republicans passed their budget that they swore 'wouldn’t touch Medicaid.' They lied. Now, hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans are at risk of losing their health insurance." This statement highlights her concern for the potential impact on Minnesotans' health insurance coverage.

Later that same day, Angie Craig expressed enthusiasm about her visit to Stampings of Minnesota, a woman and minority-owned metal stamping company located in Lakeville. She praised the company for its role in boosting the local economy and job market: "It was great to visit Stampings of Minnesota this week – a woman and minority-owned metal stamping company in Lakeville."

As a background context, Angie Craig has been serving in Congress since replacing Jason Lewis in 2019. Born in West Helena, Arkansas, she is currently based in Prior Lake and holds a BA from the University of Memphis obtained in 1994.
