LAKEVILLE, Minn. — Voters in Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District have selected Angie Craig to continue representing them in Washington.
Craig, a DFLer who has been representing the district in the US House since 2019, is the projected winner, according to the Associated Press.
She was running against Republican Joe Teirab, a former federal prosecutor and Marine.
Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District covers Dakota, Scott, Le Sueur, and part of Rice counties.
Before Craig, the district was represented by Republican Jason Lewis.
Craig sent media the below statement:
“It has been a tremendous honor to represent the folks of Minnesota’s Second District in the United States House of Representatives. I am humbled to have earned their support for a fourth term.
“Elections are not won in one day or by one person. They are won because a group of people, tied together by their care and hope for the future of our country, showed up month after month – ready to do the hard work to make a win like this possible. I’m grateful to every person whose dedication and persistence helped make tonight happen.
“Working with the people of Minnesota’s Second District has instilled in me a unique hope and optimism. Here, we know how to put aside our differences and work together to make life better for our neighbors. That is a spirit that will continue to drive my work in Congress.
“I am so grateful to every single Minnesotan who placed their trust in me today. I look forward to our continued work together.”
