Representative Angie Craig knows we can put an end to senseless gun violence while still respecting the constitutional rights of Minnesotans. As a gun owner who enjoys hunting and visiting the shooting range, and as the mother of three sons who have experience using guns, Congresswoman Craig understands the importance of responsible gun ownership. At the same time, she’s well aware that innocent lives are put at risk every day by dangerous loopholes in our laws, and she is committed to taking action to keep Minnesota communities safe. 

In 2018, Representative Craig was one of four House candidates that GIFFORDS PAC marked as a top priority. Working hand in hand with our founder, former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords,  Craig ousted an incumbent with an A rating from the NRA and flipped a previously red district blue for the first time in almost 20 years. In Congress, Representative Craig has led and supported legislation to help law enforcement officers keep communities safe and give parents and doctors the tools they need to keep their kids out of harm’s way. She was also instrumental in passing the Bipartisan Background Checks Act, which expanded background checks to all gun sales, and helped secure the first dedicated funding for gun violence research in decades. As a member of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, Representative Craig also helped pass the landmark Bipartisan Safer Communities Act into law—the first major gun safety legislation to be signed in nearly 30 years.

Every single day, Congresswoman Craig demonstrates the courage necessary to lead on the issue of gun violence prevention, and it is crucial that she returns to Washington DC next year. With gun safety champions defending seats up and down the ballot this November, it is incumbent upon voters to get out in force for members in swing districts like Representative Angie Craig, whose election may decide the US House majority in 2025.

We are proud to endorse Angie Craig for the US House of Representatives.
