All the best to her!

Resident of Minnesota here. Was in Craig's District for a while before last re-districting. She is in an admittedly purple (at best) district, but this last cycle she really went after Democrats - not to urge stronger action, but in an effort to appear "moderate" and reach out to the other side. She's a big proponent of the "both side's do it" meme. It was really disheartening. If she is the nominee, I will support her, but would prefer someone who isn't as willing to publicly stab Democrats in the back in an effort to appear moderate.

It was from Democratic Representative Angie Craig from Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District, asking for money to help her launch a campaign for Senate. I responded that addressing me as Harold, which is not my name, and asking if she could get personal, was not a top-quality way to solicit campaign funding. Then I blocked her.

Two after I unsubscribed. She uses different phone numbers.

Even with Walz on the ticket Harris won it by just over four points.

I’d expect a democrat to win the senate seat in 2026. How does craig compare to Flanagan in terms of name recognition state wide? A stronger candidate means that fewer resources need to be poured into this race and can be spent on offense in capturing republican held seats.

recognition. I world think Craig does too.

I know Minnesota elected Pawlenty and Norm Coleman back in the day (yuck) but I get the impression the GOP bench isn’t particularly strong in the state. I could be wrong.

Craig’s district sounds pretty purple, so if she won’t the senate seat, democrats would need to find another strong candidate.

I really like Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan and it’s admirable that Walz opted not to run opposing her but I’m not sure she can win state-wide. Angie Craig is popular in a purple district and seems to reach across the aisle when necessary. I believe that’s the same reason Amy K. is popular star-wide. We need to keep this seat.

This is a must win race for Dems. 2026 looks like a really difficult map overall. Maine and North Carolina look like the only realistic pickup possibilities right now.

Of course, that changes depending how much of a drag trump is on republicans by the midterms.
