U.S. Rep. Angie Craig, a Democrat from Minnesota’s south suburban 2nd Congressional District, announced Monday that her campaign raised more than $1 million in the first quarter of 2022.
Craig reported she has raised $3.6 million so far in this two-year cycle and now has $3.67 million in cash on hand.
Craig’s Republican challenger, Tyler Kistner of Prior Lake, was endorsed Saturday by the 2nd District GOP. He ran against Craig in 2020 and lost by 2 percentage points in the fifth-closest U.S. House race in the nation that year. Both candidates have been targeted by their respective parties as top priorities in this fall’s elections.
Craig, an Eagan resident who is seeking a third term, raised $5.4 million and spent $4.4 million in her 2020 campaign. Kistner raised and spent nearly $3 million on that race. He has not yet reported how much he raised during the first three months of this year.
