DAKOTA COUNTY, MN — Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District DFL endorsed Angie Craig for re-election on Saturday, Craig said in a news release.

“It’s been an honor to represent this district in Congress, and I’m proud to have the official support of the DFL as we head into the next election cycle,” Craig said. “I ran for Congress because I believed our district deserved an accessible, accountable representative who would put working families’ interests before special interests. Someone who would tell you where they stood on the issues — like protecting reproductive freedom — and who would stand up to Big Pharma and fight to change the way Washington works. Voters have a choice this cycle, to move forward or backward, to expand rights or take them away. On this team, the choice is clear.”

Minnesota's newly redrawn 2nd congressional district includes Dakota, Scott and Le Sueur Counties, as well as portions of Washington and Rice Counties.
