Lesbian congresswoman Angie Craig says she's considering Senate run
Briefly

U.S. Rep. Angie Craig announced her serious consideration for the open U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota via social media. As the first openly LGBTQ+ person representing Minnesota in Congress, and the current ranking member of the House Agriculture Committee, she aims to discuss her future with constituents. Craig represents a highly competitive district and emphasizes the significance of representation, often sharing her family experiences to foster understanding across party lines. A decision regarding her candidacy is anticipated soon, pending discussions with the community.
I am giving serious consideration to the open Senate seat in Minnesota. I'll be talking to Minnesotans in the weeks ahead about the best way to continue to serve my community.
I represent the most evenly divided district in America currently represented by a Democrat, which means I sit down with everyone.
As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I understand firsthand the importance of representation and visibility.
I keep trying by example; my wife and I have been married for nearly 20 years and raised four sons together.
