Angela Dawn “Angie” Craig (born February 14, 1972 (age 54)) is a left-wing Democrat currently representing Minnesota's 2nd congressional district in the United States House of Representatives, having been elected in the 2018 midterms to the position. Openly lesbian,[2] she is an advocate of the homosexual agenda who believes that sexual preferences are a civil "right"[3] and voted for the far-left Equality Act.[4]
Craig is a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
U.S. House of Representatives
2016 election
Craig ran for U.S. House in the 2016 election in Minnesota's 2nd district coinciding with the presidential election that year, losing to Republican opponent Jason Lewis by just under 2% of the vote in close race.[5] The district was also carried by Trump in the presidential race with a one-percent margin over Hillary Clinton.[Citation Needed]
2018 election
Despite losing in 2016, Craig ran again for the House seat in the 2018 Midterms elections against the one-term Rep. Lewis. Bolstered by a blue wave following the weak leadership of RINO Paul Ryan in the 115th United States Congress, she defeated Lewis by 5.6% of the votes cast.[6]
Tenure
Despite having campaigned for office on a somewhat more moderate platform,[7] Craig is a leftist who has voted in concurrence with Nancy Pelosi 97% of the time.[8]
Amidst the impeachment coup against Donald Trump and strong opposition to such from constituents,[9] Rep. Craig initially was "undecided" on whether to support impeaching Trump,[10] calling it a "somber time".[11] However, she quickly turned around to support[12] the sham articles of impeachment and voted in favor of them.[13]
