Angie Craig Campaigns in Metro, Lakes Country

MOORHEAD — The race to replace Minnesota’s U.S. Senator Tina Smith in Washington is on, and campaigning candidates are already coming to the region to ask for your vote.

One of them is U.S. House Representative Angie Craig, who’s served in District Two since 2019.

She spent the day touring Fergus Falls and Moorhead reaching out to voters.

She said the number one concern they tell her about is rising costs, including that of health care, housing, and groceries.

Craig said she can relate, in part because she grew up without much financial security herself.

Craig is joining a crowded field of candidates, including Minnesota Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan and six different contenders on the Republican side.

She joined the Morning Show to talk about her platform, about her concern for the nation’s farmers, and why she wants to go back to Washington to serve in the Senate.
