< Back Angie Craig U.S. House of Representatives Congressional District 2 Eagan, Minnesota I was raised by a single mom and grew up in a mobile home park. I watched my mom work hard and complete her teaching degree over nine years while raising three kids with the help of my grandmother, who herself worked in a union shoe factory well into her 70s. These strong women showed me what grit and determination look like. Like my mom, I worked two jobs and took out a little in student loans to put myself through state college. I started my career as a newspaper reporter and worked my way up over 20 years in business to lead a workforce of 16,000 for a major Minnesota manufacturer. Today, my wife and I are moms to four amazing young men and I am honored to serve in the U.S. Congress. campaign@angiecraig.com Donate Website

Our Caucus Officers & Directors Constitution & Bylaws Committees About The DFL Rural Caucus was established in 2019 with the goal of giving a voice to rural communities and addressing their unique needs. Rural Minnesota accounts for less than 20% of the state's population and has a rich history of self-sufficient rural citizens who built the foundation of American democracy. (x ) Despite the changes in the makeup of the United States, rural communities still face important issues such as access to reliable broadband, education, conservation, and healthcare. As the 2016 elections have shown, the Democratic Party cannot afford to ignore any county or vote in its quest for a fair and just society. To achieve this goal, the DFL must have a strong presence in every region of the state. The DFL Rural Caucus serves as a platform for rural residents to become active members of the DFL and actively engage with the ongoing work of the party. It aims to generate support for and understanding of rural issues among caucus members, the DFL, and key stakeholder organizations working on behalf of rural residents and communities. Since its formation, the Rural Caucus has focused on recruiting DFL members, providing support to county parties where rebuilding is needed, supporting DFL candidates, and recruiting high-quality candidates to ensure that no race goes uncontested.
