Angie Craig, U.S. Congresswoman representing Minnesota’s 2nd district since 2019, recently highlighted several legislative priorities in a series of posts on her social media account. Her statements addressed funding for Minnesota public schools, the anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid, and criticism of former President Trump’s stance on a stock trading ban.
