MINNESOTA – Since assuming office in 2019, Representative Craig has worked hand-in-hand with local sheriffs, police chiefs and public safety officers to ensure law enforcement agencies across the Second District receive the resources, support and funding necessary to keeping Minnesota's communities safe from harm.

Over the past four years, Representative Craig has worked tirelessly to deliver for Minnesota's law enforcement agencies. These efforts have included:

WASHINGTON, DC – Earlier this month, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law – landmark legislation that will lower prescription drug and health care costs for hardworking Minnesotans. This bill provides several long-overdue reforms – including Representative Craig's $35 cap on the monthly out-of-pocket cost of insulin for those on Medicare – to the health care system and makes substantial progress toward ensuring every single Minnesotan has access to high-quality, affordable health care.

Here's what the Inflation Reduction Act means for Minnesotans:
