Angie Craig’s life is a story of grit, determination, and an unshakeable commitment to leveling the playing field for Minnesotans.
Angie grew up in a mobile home park and was raised by a single mom. Working two jobs, Craig helped put herself through state college. Angie started her career as a newspaper reporter and worked her way up over 20 years in business, eventually leading a workforce of 16,000 for a major Minnesota manufacturer.
Angie is married to a former Minnesota middle school teacher, Cheryl. Angie and Cheryl are mothers to four amazing adult men and grandmothers to three young grandsons.
Angie flipped a Republican congressional seat and helped take back Congress in 2018. During her time in Congress, Angie has taken on the powerful – to fight for what’s right. She’s taken on Big Pharma – writing legislation to lower the cost of prescription drugs. She’s stood up to corporate monopolies that are jacking up costs. She’s worked to expand apprenticeship and job training programs and fought like hell on behalf of family farmers. She’s worked to address the mental health and fentanyl epidemic in our country and pushed to ban members of Congress from trading stocks, becoming lobbyists and pushed for campaign finance reform.
Angie’s ready to take on the Trump administration’s policies that are hurting working folks in our country and take the fight to Republicans. In the Senate, Angie’s focus will be on lowering costs, keeping our communities safe and fixing a broken Washington.
