Today, U.S. Rep. Angie Craig reiterated her commitment to Minnesota farmers and our biodiesel industry by calling on the Administration to end its unfair practice of granting small refinery waivers to big oil companies, which causes more market uncertainty for Minnesota farmers.

In her role on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, U.S. Rep. Angie Craig recently called for Congress to include projects and priorities from Minnesota's Second Congressional District as a part of an upcoming wide-reaching federal surface transportation package. The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act is set to expire in September 2020 and must be reauthorized with improvements to highways, motor vehicle safety, public transit, motor carrier safety, hazardous materials safety, rail safety, as well as research, technology, and statistics programs.

Today, the CREATES Act, which U.S. Rep. Angie Craig has cosponsored to lower the cost of prescription drugs, took one step closer to becoming law, as it was passed out of the House Judiciary Committee.

This bill would prohibit brand-name pharmaceutical companies' current practice of blocking generic and biosimilar manufacturers from making more affordable, safe generic and biosimilar alternatives. The bill has strong bipartisan support and is backed by the AARP and Association for Accessible Medicines.

U.S. Rep. Angie Craig understands that right now there are insufficient mental health resources in our rural communities.

That's why she held a roundtable in Wabasha, MN yesterday with community health advocates and providers as part of her district-wide healthcare listening tour, and why she has cosponsored several bills to make sure Minnesotans have access to the full range of mental health services they need.

Tomorrow marks the 100th day in office for the 116th Congress. Since day one, Rep. Angie Craig has prioritized showing up, listening and working across the aisle to solve the real problems families in Minnesota's Second Congressional District face.

Today, U.S. Rep Angie Craig's (MN-02) bill cosponsored by Rep. Brian Mast (FL-18) to reduce harmful water pollution in our local waters passed out of the House with overwhelming bipartisan support.

U.S. Rep. Angie Craig's (MN-02) first piece of healthcare legislation - the State Health Care Premium Reduction Act, cosponsored by U.S. Rep. Scott Peters (CA-52), passed the Energy and Commerce Committee last night, moving one step closer to addressing one of the biggest and most immediate concerns facing hardworking American families right now: affordable health care.

U.S. Rep. Angie Craig deeply understands that too many families are facing the heart of today's healthcare problem: if healthcare isn't affordable, it isn't accessible.

That is why she is backing a suite of bills to lower the skyrocketing cost of necessary prescription medication.
