We’ve got a hell of a fight on our hands.
Trump and Musk are burning our government down. Rising costs threaten the middle class. And for too many, hard work isn't paying off like it used to.
We must do better. I’m running for U.S. Senate—to fight for Minnesota. And to win. pic.twitter.com/0yes5ZLjI1

MINNESOTA – Democratic Minnesota Congresswoman Angie Craig announces her campaign for Senate.
“I know what it’s like to be knocked down and counted out. To be the underdog. I grew up in a mobile home park raised by a single mom. No one gave us much of a chance,” Craig said in a campaign video.
Craig, the highest Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee, says she’s running because “Chaos and corruption in Trump’s administration are crashing down on all of us every day and Republicans are standing by and letting it all happen.”
Craig has been endorsed by former Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips.
Her opponents for the Democratic nomination are Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan and former Minnesota Senate Minority Leader Melisa Lopez Franzen. Flanagan has been endorsed by former Senator Al Franken, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minnesota State Auditor Julie Blaha and DFL State Representative Heather Keeler of Moorhead.
