The following day, August 9, she shared details from Farmfest: "This week at Farmfest, I had the chance to meet with Compeer Financial – a farm credit cooperative serving MN farm families. Our family farmers are the backbone of our economy, and it’s organizations like Compeer that ensure rural Minnesotans have the resources they need to".

Continuing her focus on local agriculture on August 10, Craig wrote about another meeting at Farmfest: "In MN-02– where corn is always knee-high by the Fourth of July – we know that our corn growers power our ag economy. It was great to meet with the Minnesota Corn Growers Association at Farmfest to discuss how we can continue to support MN’s corn growers! ".

Craig has represented Minnesota's 2nd District since 2019 after succeeding Jason Lewis. She was born in West Helena, Arkansas in 1972 and now resides in Prior Lake. Craig graduated from the University of Memphis with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1994.
