ST PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota's Second Congressional District Rep. Angie Craig will make her case for a fourth term in Congress Friday during a debate with her Republican challenger, Joe Teirab.
The debate, hosted by MPR News and moderated by MPR's politics editor Brian Bakst, takes place at noon inside the public media outlet's St. Paul studios.
The 2024 contest between Democrat Craig and Republican Teirab is considered highly competitive — and contentious — as both candidates vie for votes in communities extending from the southern Twin Cities metro to just north of Mankato.
Craig was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018.
