Craig

Angie Craig is the US congresswoman in this district. She is a democrat who replaced a 20 year republican last election. Her ads promote the fact as they say, she went against her party by supporting police. This is controversial only because many democrats say they were never opposed to the police in any way. Recall that the Minneapolis police and the mayor proposed reducing the police budget by $7 million but the voters rejected the plan. A public pledge by nine of the 13 elected members of the Minneapolis City Council on June 7, 2020, to "defund police" garnered significant attention for the police abolition movement, as well as considerable political backlash.
