Host Congresswoman Angie Craig at your small business!

Congresswoman Craig has made it a priority to connect with as many small business owners as she can in the 119th Congress. She wants to hear firsthand from business owners and operators the issues they are experiencing in their niche community and industry, and discuss how we can work together to protect the business community in Minnesota and the Second Congressional District.  

If you would like to host a short visit of Congresswoman Angie Craig, please complete this form. The Congresswoman's staff will reach out in coming months to schedule a visit.
