Craig has represented Minnesota’s 2nd District since 2019 after replacing Jason Lewis. She was born in West Helena, Arkansas in 1972 and currently resides in Prior Lake. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Memphis (1994).

Her recent statements come amid ongoing debates over federal budget priorities and health care access. The proposed changes referenced by Craig include reductions to Medicaid funding and the expiration of premium tax credits established under previous legislation. These issues remain central points of contention between congressional Democrats and Republicans.
