Rep. Angie Craig represents Minnesota’s Second Congressional District. She is fighting for working families - and for a Minnesota where every member of every family gets a fair shot. That means a future with lower health care costs and opportunities for career skills and technical training for 21st century jobs. She’ll work with anybody - and take on the Washington establishment - to get things done for her constituents.
Rep. Craig learned the value of hard work from her mother, a single mom who raised three children while earning her teaching degree. She too worked two jobs to help put herself through college. Years later, she moved to Minnesota and fell in love with the strong communities and quality of life. She and her wife Cheryl Greene have four sons – three who have already graduated from college or tech school and one who graduated from Rosemount High School in 2021 and is currently a college student. They lived in Eagan for nearly a decade and recently moved to Prior Lake. Angie attends church in Apple Valley and is a Rotarian who has served on several local community boards over the years. She is a small business investor, the former head of Global HR and Corporate Relations for a major Minnesota manufacturer, and a former newspaper reporter.
The United States of America is the wealthiest country in the world, yet we rank 13th when it comes to the overall quality of our infrastructure. To put it simply, America has been falling behind – and ordinary, hardworking Minnesota families have been paying the price each and every day.
That’s exactly why I was so proud to lead efforts to reverse this trend and pass a once-in-a-generation investment in our nation’s infrastructure – the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. This bipartisan package will create millions of good-paying jobs that cannot be outsourced, create strong and sustainable economic growth in our local communities, rebuild Minnesota’s crumbling roads and aging bridges and expand high-speed internet access to rural communities throughout Minnesota’s Second Congressional District. And the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is only the beginning. Recently, I was proud to see the House pass my Strengthening the Agriculture and Food Supply Chain Act, which would create a dedicated task force designed to shore up the American food supply chain, increase government coordination and provide recommendations to Congress to prevent future supply chain issues that raise costs for hardworking families.
I know that investing in transportation and infrastructure is critical to strengthening Minnesota’s economy and communities – and I will never stop looking for ways to do so!
