Honestly, I’m pretty excited to see Angie Craig jump into the Senate race. She’s been a solid progressive voice in the House and has stood up for working people, so I think she’d bring some much-needed energy to the Senate. It’s also good to see her calling out the corruption and chaos that flourished under Trump—too many politicians try to play it safe instead of telling it like it is. With her fundraising power and grassroots support, she’ll be tough to beat in the primary. I just hope she keeps centering progressive issues like affordable healthcare, climate action, and protecting democracy throughout her campaign. Minnesota could really use a senator who isn’t afraid to push for bold, people-first policies.
I hope Angie Craig actually listens to working people and pushes for real progressive policies like Medicare for All, not just more of the same corporate-friendly centrism.

Craig’s strong fundraising chops and pragmatic approach could be just what Minnesota needs to keep the economy growing and government efficient.
Craig jumping into the Senate race just means more of the same old partisan talking points—blaming Trump instead of offering real solutions. Minnesota deserves leaders focused on common-sense policies, not just more political theater from the left.
Just what we need—another big-government politician trying to "save" us from the other side’s corruption while ignoring the mess both parties have made. Doesn’t matter who wins if they all just keep growing the government and spending more of our money.
