Today is Primary Election Day here in Minnesota, and I’m humbled by the grassroots movement we’ve built. 🩵

Throughout this campaign, I’ve been honored to earn the support of leaders all across the country whom I deeply respect — people who know a thing or two about standing up for our values, winning tough fights and delivering real results. People with integrity who are committed to doing what’s best for the people they serve.

I’m talking about endorsements from folks right here in our state, like Minnesota First Lady Gwen Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. I’m talking about LGBTQ+ leaders like Jim Obergefell and Pete Buttigieg. And people like Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger and New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill — who won their own ultra-competitive races last year.

I’m incredibly grateful to have earned their support, but there’s one more endorsement I’m still hoping to earn:

Yours.

Will you let me know that you’re with me in this fight by personally endorsing my campaign and chipping in $1 or more before the final ballots are cast and the polls close?

The outcome of this election will likely be decided in a matter of hours, and I hope that I’ve earned the trust of enough Minnesota voters to get one step closer to being Minnesota’s first lesbian U.S. Senator.

This election will make or break whether Democrats regain control of the Senate and finally put a check on Trump’s chaos and abuses of power.

Can I count on you to personally endorse my campaign before midnight? By pitching in $1 or more, you’re adding your name to a growing list of folks who will carry us to victory tonight.

Thank you for standing with me. Now let’s go win this!

Tomorrow, all ballots will be cast. And once all the votes are counted, the Democratic nominee will have to hit the ground running to defend this wide-open U.S. Senate seat from ex-NFL reporter, MAGA Michele Tafoya.

There’s no time to waste, no room for mistakes and every single thing we do today matters. You already know the outcome of this race will directly impact whether or not Democrats can take back the Senate majority and put an end to Trump’s MAGA agenda.

We’re in the final drive of this primary campaign, and I still need you on the field with me. My team is still sprinting to reach every voter and keep my TV ads on the air — and raising enough resources to keep them going through the final quarter is essential to our ability to stay competitive.

MAGA Michele spent years reporting from the sidelines, and as far I’m concerned, that’s exactly where she belongs. If elected, she’ll be another rubber stamp for Trump’s agenda that’s bad for this country and bad for Minnesota.

I’m up against a primary opponent who has never run a competitive race against a Republican before and a Republican candidate who has the Senate GOP’s campaign arm pouring millions into this race to attack me. Just last week, NRSC Chair Tim Scott said that Minnesota was one of 4 states the GOP has their sights set on FLIPPING and that we shouldn’t “sleep” on MAGA Michele. That’s a threat we should take seriously.

She’s had the full backing of the Republican machine since she launched her campaign. Republicans are going all-in on Minnesota, so this team has to go even harder. Right now, every dollar we raise helps us move the ball so we can make it into the endzone. Your support directly helps us organize and strategize, so that we can win tomorrow night.

I’ve run this campaign with a loyal team behind me, and I’m hoping that I still have your support. Every quarterback needs a running back they can throw the ball to. And I’m calling this last play, hoping you’ll step up.

There won’t be any hail marys in the form of million dollar checks from a few wealthy people. We rely on committed grassroots supporters who understand the stakes of this race and are willing to get off the sidelines to help me keep this seat blue.

But let me be clear: this is going to be one of the closest Senate races in the country — and I don’t intend to walk away wishing we had done more while there was still time on the clock.

The funds we raise from grassroots supporters right now help keep us moving down the field and give us the resources to finish this campaign strong. We aren’t holding anything back.

So team, I’m calling you in for one last play and urgently asking: Can I count on you to chip in another $5 or more before the clock runs out?

We’re leaving it all on the field.

I’m running this race to represent all Minnesotans. The mom who lives in a mobile park like my mom did while she was raising me. The farmer who is worried they are being priced out of their land and won’t be able to keep up their livelihood. The kids who are hungry because our federal government decided to cut SNAP. That’s who I’m fighting for.

The reality is: final ballots will be cast in just a few days, and I’m not done talking to voters and making sure people hear our message. This wide-open U.S. Senate seat is crucial — not just for the future of Minnesota — but for the future of this country. This race could be the reason Democrats win or lose the Senate majority.

My ask of you is that you stay in this fight with me. I wouldn’t be running if my MAGA opponent, Michele Tafoya, didn’t have the full backing of Donald Trump and the National Republican Senatorial Committee. I wouldn’t be running if I didn’t know for sure that I’m the only candidate who can take on Donald Trump and Senate Republicans’ endless corruption. And I definitely wouldn’t be running if my whole heart wasn’t in this.

National Republicans are pouring millions into defeating me. My primary opponent is desperate to smear my record, but I refuse to back down.

The only way to cut through the noise is to build something people powered and that money can’t buy: a grassroots coalition that shows up, chips in and refuses to let Minnesota go down without a fight.

I’m hoping you’ll continue to be a critical part of that coalition by chipping in $5 or more right now.

We’re so close,

Hi folks,

I just got out of a meeting with my team, and I wanted to quickly recap the state of my race now that we’re just four days out from my Primary Election Day.

1. This race is going to come down to a razor thin margin.

15% of Minnesotans remain undecided and the polls are changing dramatically. One thing that hasn’t changed is the fact that MAGA Michele Tafoya is the Republican frontrunner in this race. That’s why it’s critical that we elect a Democrat with a track record of going up against the GOP and winning against their megamillions. This race isn’t just about red versus blue; it’s about what’s best for Minnesotan families and the future of our country.

2. Minnesota will determine whether or not Democrats regain Senate control.

We have a chance to hold Minnesota’s U.S. Senate seat and keep Democrats’ path to the majority alive. But if we lose Minnesota, Democrats’ already narrow path becomes nearly impossible. Political experts have identified our race in Minnesota as one of the most competitive in the country. The Republican Party believes Minnesota is winnable, and there has been a red wave creeping up into our state the past few election cycles. And what happens if Republicans keep control of the Senate? We’ll see continued attacks on health care and more tax cuts for billionaires while working families struggle and our fundamental rights will be ripped away, one by one. We have to do everything we can to make sure that doesn’t happen.

3. Your support is still making a difference.

Republican super PACs have poured millions of dollars into this race to defeat me and prop up their MAGA lies. They’ve built a massive infrastructure to defeat Democrats across the country — but I refuse to let them win. Every dollar you give is immediately spent to keep our ads up on TV. There are still folks who haven’t voted, who we’re still working around the clock to reach. We’re spending everything down to $0, which means we’re not playing it safe. We’re using every resource at our disposal to make sure that the best candidate wins — and yes, that is me.

I get it, there are a lot of priorities demanding your attention day to day, but I need you to make our race in Minnesota one of them — especially since there are only four days left before final ballots are cast. There’s too much at stake for us to have regrets about what we could have or should have done to defeat MAGA Michele Tafoya.

You’ve already done so much for me, and I sincerely appreciate your support, but I have to keep asking because this race is too important to ignore: Will you please commit to making a donation of $5 or whatever makes sense for you today and help get me across the finish line?

Your support makes a big difference.

Angie

I’m heading into the last debate before our Primary Election Day, but one thing that has always been clear: I’m the only Democrat in this race with a track record of defeating the GOP on a national scale.

I flipped a Republican stronghold blue and have been representing Minnesota in Congress ever since. That doesn’t happen by accident. I have never turned away from a tough fight, and I am not about to start now.

Times are hard right now and people want to see real progress in Minnesota — but that does not happen if we lose this seat to Trump loyalist, Michele Tafoya. I will always champion the issues that matter most to the hardworking families in Minnesota. I will always call out Trump’s lawlessness and political corruption. And I will always show up for Minnesotans when it matters most, unlike my primary opponent who repeatedly misses important votes affecting our state.

We’re less than a week away from the final votes being cast in this primary election, and I hope you know that I don’t take your support for granted. I’m grateful to my core for having represented Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District for the past 7 years, and I would be honored to take my fight all the way into the Senate.

This race really isn’t about me or any of my opponents. This race is about what’s best for the people of Minnesota and the communities we care about. My MAGA opponent has been steadfast in her support of Trump, so we already know where she stands.

We have to do everything in our power to make sure she does not win.

We’re in the FINAL stretch of this race, and your support at this stage of the game makes all the difference. If you believe Minnesota deserves a candidate who can give our state a fighting chance at keeping this seat blue and flipping the Senate, I hope you’ll consider chipping in whatever you can today.

I’m not done fighting,

Angie

In basketball there’s this expression: Winning Time.

Winning Time is when the pressure is at its highest and there are only a few minutes left in the game. Every minute, every second, every play will either result in victory — or defeat. And team, that’s the phase we’re in with just 7 days left before all ballots are cast in the primary for my wide-open U.S. Senate race.

You already know the latest poll showed me tied with my primary opponent. You already know 16% of voters are still undecided.

You already know the outcome of this race will directly impact whether or not Democrats can take back the Senate majority and put an end to Trump’s MAGA agenda.

And you already know there’s no time left to waste.

This is the final sprint of our primary election campaign, and I still need you in the game with me. Voter outreach and TV ads are still running — and raising enough resources to keep them on the air is an essential part of our ability to stay competitive.

We’re going up against a primary opponent who has never run a competitive race against a Republican before and a candidate who has the Senate GOP’s campaign arm pouring millions into this race to attack me.

They’re going all-in on Minnesota, so this team has to go even harder. In this final full court press, every dollar that comes in is a dollar that’s quickly allocated to voter outreach, volunteer operations, event costs and TV ads.

I’ve run this campaign the right way since day one — relying on grassroots support from people like you, and folks across all 87 counties in Minnesota, who are invested in the future of our country. That means we don’t rely on checks from billionaires hoping to buy this election, just a whole lot of help from people who work hard and want to keep this seat blue.

But let me be clear: this is going to be one of the closest Senate races in the country — and I don’t intend to come up short because we didn’t shoot every shot we had.

So team, can I pass the ball to you and count on you to chip in another $1, $5 or $10 before time runs out?

The funds we raise from grassroots supporters right now help keep us in the game and give us an edge. We aren’t holding anything back. With 7 days left before this election is called, we’re leaving it all on the court and counting on our supporters to carry us to victory. Every dollar raised is another point on the board. So please, if you can make it work, chip in now while there’s still time on the clock.

Minnesota Lynx’s #1 Fan

Angie’s team asked me to write a guest post now that my wife is in the home stretch of her U.S. Senate race. I was more than happy to say yes. But before I dive into all things Angie, a little about me: I’m a proud Minnesotan, I was an educator for 25 years, I’m a huge WNBA fan (go Lynx!) and, alongside Angie, I’m a mom to four amazing sons and Gigi (grandma) to three grandkids.

We don’t exactly look like that anymore (ha!), but I’ve known Angie for a long time and she is one of the most hardworking, strongwilled people I have ever met.

Angie and I met twenty years ago when I was coaching our sons’ basketball team, and we haven’t looked back since. Now, I’m so proud to be supporting her all the way to the finish line in her run for U.S. Senate. But she can’t win with my support alone — that’s why she’s laser-focused on gaining grassroots momentum in all 87 counties across the state.

Angie is no stranger to tough battles. She grew up in a mobile home park with the support of a hardworking single mom and grandmother. She worked two jobs to pay for state college. She worked tirelessly to become a journalist and went on to help lead a major Minnesota manufacturing company.

And then, in 2018, our lives changed forever when Angie ran for Congress and flipped a GOP-held district blue.

I’ve had the privilege of being by Angie’s side every step of the way, and now I’m asking you to join me — because the GOP is targeting her with relentless attacks on the ground and on the airwaves, and pouring hundreds of millions into Minnesota to keep the Senate red.

If you can afford to get in the game and pitch in $10, that would be a HUGE help to Angie in the last 9 days of her fight to win this wide-open U.S. Senate seat.

Thank you for reading, and for being a key part of this campaign.

— Cheryl Greene

Now, we’re officially in the last leg of our race with just 10 days left until my Primary Election Day, and I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the hard fought journey to get here and remind folks of what it is we are fighting for.

I wouldn’t have made it this far without my amazing campaign team that’s been with me every step of the way. They’ve built incredible volunteer teams in every county of Minnesota, knocked on thousands of doors with me and stayed up way past everyone’s bedtime so that Minnesotan families will have a fighting chance at beating MAGA extremist Michele Tafoya this November.

I’m humbled by all of the Minnesotans who believe in me and have given their time and energy to help me get elected. Their trust in me is what fuels my fight every single day.

Our grassroots movement is stronger than it has ever been, and that’s all thanks to you.

Here’s how it all started:

In April of last year, I announced my campaign for this wide-open Senate seat because I knew that Minnesotans deserved a fighter.

We deserve someone who will keep this seat blue and keep the political corruption — and MAGA extremism running amok in Trump’s administration — out of our state.

Prices are too high.

Health care is out of reach.

And the wealthy keep raking in tax breaks — at our expense.

Trump’s spineless, MAGA-controlled Senate has done nothing to protect our freedoms and help rein in the sky high prices caused by Trump’s reckless MAGA policies both at home and abroad. Instead of working on behalf of American families, they’ve been his doormat. Taking back the Senate majority is the only way for Democrats to get our country back on track.

Then our community was tested by an unimaginable tragedy at the hands of Trump’s ICE and Kristi Noem’s incompetence.

Minnesotans came together to protect our neighbors and communities from ICE.

Trump deployed violent untrained ICE agents who terrorized our communities. Minnesotans fought back.

Together, we were able to get the thousands of troops deployed in Minneapolis out of the city. When I was turned away from one of the ICE facilities in our area, I didn’t give up. I kept showing up until they let me in.

I’ll ALWAYS stand up for Minnesota’s vibrant and hardworking immigrant communities. We peacefully protested. We organized our friends and family. And we did it while being scrutinized by folks like Michele Tafoya who accused people on the frontlines of being “paid” to be there.

I have never been more proud to be a Minnesotan because the world got to see what courage and bravery looks like. They got to see why I’ve been fighting so hard to represent Minnesota in the U.S. Senate. It’s the people who make this one of the best places to live.

And now, I’m hoping to be the person Minnesota picks to go up against MAGA’s top pick, Michele Tafoya.

Here’s how it’s going:

We’re 10 days out from Primary Election Day, and I’m still on the ground like it’s day one. I’m still connecting with voters and earning major endorsements from people like Mayor Jacob Frey and First Lady of Minnesota Gwen Walz.

Experts say this race is statistically TIED. On top of that, 16% of voters are still undecided. We have just 10 days before final ballots are cast, and I still need your unwavering support.

The future of our Democratic majority is at stake this election. The future of our state — tackling affordability, expanding health care access, investing in education — it’s all on the line. If we nominate a Democrat who doesn’t have what it takes to defeat MAGA Michele Tafoya, we risk having none of those things improve.

The outcome of this Senate race will come down to every decision we make between now and the handful of days we have left. I’m still working to reach EVERY voter before the final ballots are sealed, which is why our fundraising goals still matter.

We can’t afford to fall short this late in the game with the stakes so high.

So, I have to ask, if it makes sense for you, will you please chip in $5 or more right now to help carry us to the finish line and deliver for all Minnesotans?

We’re so close,

Angie C.

I’ll never be sorry for calling Republicans out on their B.S. Just this week, Trump’s White House called me a “psycho.”

➡️ If it’s psychotic to think that Trump and the GOP majority’s corruption has gone on for far too long…

➡️ If it’s psychotic to think that working families should be able to afford their groceries and health care…

➡️ If it’s psychotic to think that Democrats have a real shot at defeating the MAGA movement and flipping the Senate this year…

Then hell yeah, I’m a “psycho.”

In all seriousness, the stakes of my race for U.S. Senate can’t be overstated. MAGA Michele has the full backing of the NRSC and their multi-million dollar purse strings. As you read this, they’re flooding Minnesota with attacks on my campaign and spreading MAGA lies. It’s crucial that we keep our message in front of voters and on the airwaves.

The next two weeks before the primary election will be a sprint. Minnesotans will decide if they want a candidate who has never won a competitive race against a Republican before — or a battle-tested fighter who knows how to cut through the noise of Trump’s chaos and extreme agenda. (Hint: I’m that second candidate.)

We can’t let up. We have to go all in on calling MAGA Michele out for supporting an administration that has sent costs through the roof, made access to health care harder and is plagued by political corruption.

If you haven’t been paying attention to my Senate race, now is the time to start.

My MAGA opponent just outraised me by $400,000. 16% of Minnesota voters remain undecided. I have less than two weeks left before this race is called.

Our next steps could make or break whether we win or lose the Democratic majority. This primary will be decided in the margins, which is why I need you standing firmly with me.

I’m asking you personally: Will you PLEASE rush in a donation to my campaign for U.S. Senate so I can keep reaching undecided voters and help Democrats take back the Senate majority?

Thanks for all you do. Truly.

Angie Craig

The primary election is just 13 days away. Early voting is already underway.

And get this: a new poll was just released and I am TIED with my opponent.

A tie means this race will come down to a razor-thin margin… and every dollar and every vote could be the difference between winning and losing.

In this final stretch we are going all out. My team and I are working around the clock to ensure that every voter in every corner of the state is reached.

I don’t want to leave anything on the table in this race, but that takes serious resources.

I really need your help. Every dollar you give is going directly to helping me reach the 16% of undecided voters spread out all across the state.

Here are a just a few examples of where your generous support goes:

📪 $5 helps pay for a piece of literature in voters’ mailboxes.

🍕 $10 helps us buy meals for our hardworking grassroots volunteers.

⛽ $30 helps buy a tank of gas as we drive to every corner of the state.

📺 $50 helps us keep our TV ads on the air to spread our message and counter attack ads.

We’re coming down to the wire, and now is when your donation makes the most impact. No amount is too small. Every dollar makes a difference in a race this close.

Thanks for stepping up when it matters most,

Angie

As some of you know, I grew up in a mobile home park, the daughter of a hardworking single mom. I watched her go to work and take care of my siblings and me all while working toward her teaching degree. We didn’t have much — but thanks to her and my grandmother, we had what we needed.

I got my first job at the age of 16 and worked at McDonald’s. I kept working all throughout high school because I knew if I wanted to go to college, I would have to pay for it. I got into a state school and worked two jobs right up until graduation. I became a journalist and that job would eventually lead me to a career with a major Minnesota manufacturing company that specialized in healthcare devices. And now, many years later, I’m living my version of the American Dream and am running to be the first lesbian woman to represent Minnesota in the United States Senate.

None of that happened by accident. Yes, I’ve always worked hard, but when my family needed help along the way, we got it. That’s what gave me a fighting chance and got me to where I am today.

All families deserve a fighting chance to achieve the American Dream, but Trump and the GOP are doing everything they can to make that impossible. Prices are high, health care is out of reach. There has been budget cut after budget cut to slash essential government programs like SNAP, which primarily helps feed hungry kids.

Trump and his enablers in the MAGA-controlled Senate are a threat to people’s chances at achieving the American Dream. I’m running to change that. And you better believe, I don’t just want a fighting chance for all American families, but I also want that right here in Minnesota.

Minnesotans deserve to have a fighting chance at beating Trump’s handpicked candidate Michele Tafoya. I believe I am the best person for that job. I turned a Republican stronghold blue, and have been fighting for Minnesota families ever since. Meanwhile, my primary opponent has never won a competitive race against a Republican. That matters because whoever wins on August 11th, won’t just be going up against MAGA Michele. They will be fighting back against Trump and the full MAGA machine and their mega-million dollar war chest.

I wouldn’t be running this race if it didn’t have the power to make or break the Democratic majority. And I definitely wouldn’t be running if I wasn’t certain that I’m the only candidate who can take on Donald Trump and Senate Republicans’ endless corruption.

This seat is that important! It will determine who controls the Senate. It will determine whether we can block Trump’s most extreme nominees. Whether we protect your health care. Whether working families in Minnesota have a fighter in Washington — or another rubber stamp for the MAGA agenda.

That’s why we have to set up Minnesota to have a fighting chance at beating back the extremism running our country into the ground.

This race is too important to let Republicans have it without a fight. And that’s why I’m asking for your help right now.

We are in the final stretch of this race, and 16% of Minnesota voters are still undecided and not sure who to vote for. I need your help to reach those people, so Minnesota gets the fighting chance it deserves to reject Trump and his MAGA agenda. Will you please chip in $5 or more right now, so I can keep fighting to protect the American Dream Trump and the GOP are hellbent on destroying?

Thank you for believing in this fight,

My MAGA opponent, Michele Tafoya, just announced that she outraised me by $400,000 last quarter.

To make matters worse, she’s flooding the airwaves in Minnesota with her TV ads, spreading lies about Democrats and touting the MAGA agenda.

If we don’t catch up right now, that kind of fundraising gap could cost us this election.

Tafoya has the full backing of national Republicans and their nine-figure fundraising machine. They’re pouring millions into Minnesota to elect her and bring Trump’s agenda to Minnesota.

She’s got the full backing of the Senate GOP’s campaign arm, and they’ll do anything it takes to keep an iron grip on the majority.

She doesn’t have to build a grassroots movement — she just has to cash the checks her party sends her.

But Minnesotans deserve better than a candidate bankrolled by billionaires and beholden to Trump’s agenda. They deserve someone who answers to them, not to the NRSC. Someone who will fight to protect Social Security, defend access to health care and make sure working families aren’t footing the bill for the GOP’s tax breaks for the wealthy.

I’m ready to be that fighter, but I can’t win this neck-and-neck race without committed Democrats like you by my side.

So I’ll be as direct as possible: Please chip in whatever you can right now to help me close this gap, stay competitive and win this race.

“How do you make it to all these campaign stops?”

In this final stretch to the primary election, I’m spending every waking hour working in Congress and meeting with voters on the road. Don’t even ask how many tanks of gas I’m using each week.

“Do you ever have down time?”

Not much, but Cheryl and I try to spend quality time with each other every day — whether that’s going on a walk, watching a show or catching a Lynx game.

“When do you sleep?”

I’ll get back to you on that one.

This weekend, I drove across the state to meet with Minnesotans — talking about everything from lowering costs, to better supporting local farmers, to improving resources for small businesses.

I want to take you along with me for a couple of days in my life.

Saturday started off with a visit to an International Falls local staple, Coffee Landing Cafe. I grabbed some much-needed caffeine and had a great chat with the owners, Isaac and Chloe!

Next, I was off to an incredible tour of the Cantilever Distillery in Ranier. I learned all about their operation — and the importance of local tourism for small businesses like this one.

Then, I stopped in Bemidji, where I met with Mayor Jorge Prince and other community leaders to talk about the housing issues folks are facing in Greater Minnesota, before heading to a local hotel.

On Sunday, I was thrilled to make it out to the Pennington County Fair in Thief River Falls where I had great conversations with 4H club members and stopped to watch the horse show.

Then, I headed to Scott’s farm in Crookston to learn more about Minnesota’s sugar beet industry while talking about how we can better support our family farmers.

Getting some delicious rhubarb pie and zucchini brownies certainly didn’t hurt, either!

Finally, I sat down with Mayor Carlson of Moorhead and community leaders to discuss where families are feeling the squeeze and how Congress can help lower costs. Rising costs are hitting Minnesotans hard. It’s one of the reasons I’m running for Senate: to make life more affordable.

This U.S. Senate race will be won — or lost — on the margins. I’m spending every day meeting with regular Minnesotans, because as the next U.S. Senator for Minnesota, it’s my job to answer to regular folks — not billionaires, not special interests, not giant corporations.

The Republican machine is targeting me with every dirty trick in the book, but I’m not backing down. I just need folks like you to stay with me.

My primary election is coming up FAST on August 11th. Every dollar I raise before then goes directly toward turning out voters. Can you pitch in anything before midnight?

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Angie Craig

At this point next month, Minnesotans will have made their choice in this race for U.S. Senate.

They’ll have decided who’s up against MAGA Michele Tafoya this November.

There are two choices: Will we nominate a fierce candidate with a track record of taking on GOP corruption in Washington… or will we nominate someone who barely shows up for votes in Minnesota and who’s never run in a competitive race against the GOP?

Spoiler alert: I’m that first candidate.

We’ll either be in a strong position to win — or we’ll be starting the General Election with an uphill climb to keep this seat blue.

I don’t want to be brash, but I know I have what it takes to defeat Tafoya. I’ve won tough races in a swing district before, and I’ve taken on well-funded opponents more than once while the GOP attempted to tear me down.

I know how to build the kind of coalition it takes to beat a MAGA candidate in a statewide race — because I’ve done the work, cycle after cycle, earning trust with voters who are exhausted by politics as usual and just want someone who delivers. Farmers who don’t always vote blue. Union workers who want someone in their corner. Suburban parents worried about rising costs.

That’s the kind of coalition that wins statewide races in Minnesota — and that’s exactly the kind of coalition I’ve built before.

Michele Tafoya is banking on Democrats picking a nominee who can’t go the distance. The Senate GOP is banking on it too.

Next month, we can prove them wrong, or we can hand them exactly the opening they’re hoping for.

I’m asking for your support today because I know I’m the candidate who can go toe-to-toe with Tafoya and win — but I also know that I can’t do it without your support.

Please, chip in whatever you can right now. Every dollar you give in this Final Month goes straight into building the campaign it takes to beat Michele Tafoya in November.

Let’s win this thing,

Angie Craig

It’s Jacob Frey — Mayor of Minneapolis.

I’m reaching out on Angie’s Substack today to share exciting news: I’m officially endorsing her in the race for Minnesota’s wide-open U.S. Senate seat!

Allow me to explain why I believe Angie is the best fit for the job.

Angie’s relentless. She’s tough, she’s tested, and she is exactly who we need in Washington. When I met Angie, we were working together to advance marriage equality in Minnesota, and she never, ever backed down.

If elected, Angie would make history as the FIRST lesbian woman to represent Minnesota in the Senate. That’s a big deal for the LGBTQ+ kids across our state who have never seen someone like them have a seat at the table.

At a time where our civil liberties are under attack, I cannot think of a better person than Angie to represent the resilience and pride of the people here in Minneapolis.

Angie continues to be outspoken about the corruption and lawlessness of this administration, and she won’t quit fighting for what’s right.

Friend, Minnesota needs a leader who can deliver on everything from affordable housing to public safety. We need a champion who will hold the powerful accountable and stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Minnesota. That’s why I’m honored to support her candidacy for U.S. Senate, and I’m hoping you will too.

Together, we’ll help Angie win this thing.

Thank you,

Mayor Jacob Frey

I have an unusual request today.

If you’re happy with the state of this country, I don’t want you to spend your time reading this Substack.

Seriously. If you’re fine with the way things are going:

Grocery and gas prices going through the roof…

The GOP ripping away health care and food assistance from those who need it most…

Trump handing tax cuts to billionaires while working families struggle…

MAGA winning here in Minnesota because we didn’t put up enough of a fight to keep this seat blue…

If you’re okay with all of that, I want you to stop here and keep going about your day. I mean it.

But if you’re as outraged as I am, I’m hoping I can have just a few more moments of your time.

I don’t have to tell you that families are stretching every dollar while the rich keep getting richer. We’re witnessing in real time the complete destruction of the government programs that keep working folks afloat and that so many seniors have spent their entire lifetime paying into, at the hands of MAGA extremists.

All while the Senate GOP sits on their hands and does absolutely nothing to put a stop to Trump’s political corruption.

If you’re anything like me, you’re furious. And you should be. But that’s why I’m running to defend this seat from a MAGA takeover and help Democrats take back control of the Senate.

I’m running because Minnesotans deserve a fighter in Washington, who will actually speak up for the folks who are paying $10 for a dozen eggs and $5 a gallon at the pump. Minnesotans deserve a U.S. Senator who pushes back when Trump comes for your health care, your retirement, your kid’s school lunch — and doesn’t just let the status quo stand.

That someone is me – but I can’t win without your support. This race is too important to ignore, which is why I’m reaching out to you.

I’ll be honest: Early voting has already started, and Republicans are not letting up on their attacks. They’re spending millions to flip this seat and if we’re going to compete with their ultra-wealthy donors, we need grassroots Democrats like you to step up and show your support.

I know you probably didn’t wake up today and think “I’d like to make a donation to Angie Craig.” But I’m not exaggerating when I say: The outcome of my primary election in August could make or break whether or not Democrats truly have a shot at regaining control of the Senate.

If even a small part of you feels angry or like our country is moving in the wrong direction, then I’m urging you to please donate to my race before it’s too late.

As of this weekend, it’s been a year since Donald Trump signed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” into law.

I want you to sit with that word for a second. “Beautiful.”

That’s what they named the law that gutted Medicaid, let health care premiums skyrocket for working families and ripped food assistance away from kids — all to hand out tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans.

I grew up in a mobile home park in a family that barely scraped by, and let me tell you, there is nothing — nothing — beautiful about what it does.

I’m writing to you today because I don’t think most people have had a chance to learn about what was in the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” or how much worse it could get. So let me lay it out for you, plainly, the way I’d want someone to lay it out for me:

🔴 It was the largest cut to Medicaid in the history of the program. We’re talking about more than $1 TRILLION in estimated cuts over the next decade. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that millions of people will become uninsured because of these Medicaid and Affordable Care Act changes combined, and some independent estimates run even higher.

🔴 It buries people in red tape until they lose coverage — even when they’re eligible. Certain adults on Medicaid will have to prove that they’re working, volunteering or in school for at least 80 hours each month to keep their coverage. States that tried this before saw eligible people lose their health insurance not because they weren’t working, but because they got tripped up by a website, a form or a deadline. This isn’t about work — it’s about setting folks up for failure.

🔴 It let health insurance premiums spike for millions of families. The extra financial help that made ACA marketplace plans affordable has now expired. Here in Minnesota, enrollment declined by 28.2% and premiums doubled — or even tripled.

🔴 It threatens rural hospitals with closure. Rural hospitals are already severely underfunded. This law cuts the funding many of them depend on, then offers a “rural health fund” that covers only a fraction of what’s being taken away. Health experts are warning it could push hospitals in small towns across Minnesota and the country to close their doors for good.

🔴 It cuts food assistance for families who are already struggling. On top of the health care cuts, this law slashes SNAP by well over $200 BILLION over the next decade. Kids go hungry. Parents skip meals so their children don’t have to. That’s the “beautiful” part, apparently.

I could keep going. There’s more in this law, but here’s the thing I want you to take away from all of it… Every single piece of this policy moves away from care, away from coverage and away from helping people.

It’s disgusting, and quite frankly, Americans deserve better.

They deserve a Senator who’s committed to expanding health care access, not taking it away. They deserve a Senator who will take on powerful corporations and insurance companies instead of doing their bidding. They deserve a fighter.

But look, the NRSC and the special interests behind them are already pouring money into Minnesota to defend the same agenda that produced this law. If we lose this seat, the people writing bills like this one get more power, not less. But if we win it, we get one step closer to fair and affordable health care in America.

That’s the choice in front of Minnesota voters. And it’s the choice in front of you right now, whether you live in Minnesota or not, because control of the U.S. Senate runs through races just like this one.

So please: If you want to see a Senate that works for the American people instead of one that rips away their rights at every turn — rush any amount to my campaign in this final month before the primary election.

Not only is Pride about celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and remembering the progress we’ve made to be able to live and love freely — it’s about ensuring the next generation can do the same.

My wife Cheryl and I are proud of the life we’ve built together. We’re proud to live openly here in Minnesota. And we’re proud to be a part of a team that’s fighting to make sure everyone has that opportunity.

Right now, the LGBTQ+ community is under constant attack from the Trump administration and the entire MAGA movement. It feels like it never ends. More than ever before, we need leaders who are willing to stand up and fight like hell for our rights.

I’m running for the U.S. Senate to be a fierce defender of LGBTQ+ folks and to go to bat against the GOP’s harmful policies — from targeting marriage equality to passing bathroom bills and book bans. And I’m running to show every queer kid out there that they deserve a seat at the table.

But I need your help — right now. Here’s why:

↳ This is the last full month of my U.S. Senate campaign before my primary on August 11th — and folks, this race is neck-and-neck.

↳ We need to make our $1,000,000 fundraising goal to ensure that we can compete in every corner of the state and defeat MAGA extremist Michele Tafoya.

↳ Winning this race and flipping the Senate blue isn’t going to happen without a massive grassroots movement — and that’s where you come in.

National Republicans will do anything they can to defeat our movement and stop a fierce lesbian woman from becoming the next U.S. Senator from Minnesota.

They know that if I win this Senate seat, I’ll fight their hateful anti-LGBTQ+ agenda with everything I’ve got. But guess what?

With your support, we can meet our ambitious Final Month Goal and make history.

I know what it feels like to want to build a life, raise children and be fully, openly who you are — and to live in a world that doesn’t always make room for it.

I also know what it means to have people stand up for you. To feel the difference that makes.

I have stood up and fought for my community every day as a member of Congress, and you have my word: I’ll keep fighting every day in the Senate for you, for your children and for everyone who feels like they’ve been forgotten.

$1,000,000 doesn’t just help us reach every voter before the primary. It sends a signal to everyone watching that there’s a grassroots army behind this campaign — and that silencing the LGBTQ+ community in Minnesota isn’t going to happen without a real fight.

So please, if you have a few dollars to spare, will you please chip in and send this lesbian mom to the U.S. Senate?

Together in the fight,

Angie

I just made a difficult decision. But let me explain my thinking to you.

June has been a slow fundraising month for Democrats — but the same can’t be said for my MAGA opponent Michele Tafoya. She’s bringing in the big bucks and is ready to flip Minnesota’s U.S. Senate seat red for the first time in decades.

Often, when money is tight, ads are the first thing we have to cut back on. But we can’t afford to risk it – not this time.

We didn’t quite have the money in our budget yet, but this morning I gave my team the go-ahead to spend thousands on our new TV ad with my son, Josh. It was a big risk, and one that I don’t take lightly, but we need to stay on the air if we want to make sure our message keeps reaching voters.

Here’s why I made that decision:

→ National Republicans are going full throttle, flooding Minnesota with attacks and outside money to control the outcome of this race. We need to be ready for what’s coming — and that starts with keeping our TV ads on the air.

→ If we make large investments right now — launching ads, hiring more staff and reaching more voters across Minnesota — we’ll be in a much stronger position to win our primary election on August 11th.

→ Ads are how we reach voters before our opponents do. They’re how I introduce myself before MAGA attacks try to tear me down.

→ Showing up in folks’ living rooms on television helps us break through the noise, tell the truth, and remind Minnesotans which candidates are actually ready to fight for them — and win.

But listen, we all know that ads are expensive. So this morning, when my team and I sat down and looked at the numbers, we had two options:

We could play it safe. Cut back. Scale down our ads. Wait until we have more money in the bank.

OR…

We could do what’s necessary to win. MAGA Michele is counting on us to go quiet. To scale back. And stop connecting with voters. There’s no way in hell I was going to risk her overtaking us.

I feel like I’ve made the right decision but not without downside. It created a gap in our budget that we now have to close before the end of the quarter tonight – and I’m counting on you to help me make this work.

I took a leap of faith because I know this community. I know that when I’m straight with you about where we are and what we need, enough people who believe in fighting for working families — people who understand what’s at stake in this race — will come through.

Every single dollar right now goes directly toward keeping our ads running and making sure voters hear from us — not just from MAGA Michele and her donors propping up Trump’s lies.

This team is not backed by billionaires. We’re backed by people like you. And that’s how we’re going to win.

If it makes sense for you, I hope you’ll consider chipping in whatever you can to my campaign for U.S. Senate so we can close the gap in our ads budget and keep reaching the folks we need to.

All my appreciation,

Angie Craig

Folks, this is possibly the biggest moment of our campaign yet:

Early voting has OFFICIALLY begun here in Minnesota.

This is Angie Craig, and I’m the only Democrat in this U.S. Senate race who has a shot at beating MAGA’s top pick, Michele Tafoya.

Allow me to explain:

→ MAGA Michele launched her campaign with the full support of the Senate GOP –- and she’s nothing more than a mouthpiece for the worst of their agenda.

→ Experts are now calling Minnesota a TOSS-UP. It’s one of the Senate seats that could decide control of the majority.

→ Trump’s super PACs have raised hundreds of millions this year to attack Democrats like me and stop us from taking back the Senate.

I’m the only candidate in this race with a track record of taking on Republican corruption in Washington and flipping a Republican stronghold blue. And I’m the only candidate who has consistently beat MAGA Michele by the widest margin in head-to-head polling.

That’s why Tafoya is scared sh*tless of me. I’m a threat to the MAGA movement and everything they stand for.

And that’s why the Republican machine will do everything in their power to stop my campaign in its tracks. They’re already pouring millions of dollars into Minnesota to attack me and prop up Tafoya’s campaign.

As voters begin to cast their ballots in this U.S. Senate race, I’m urgently asking for your help. Every donation that comes in before my huge end-of-quarter deadline next week will fund my campaign in the FINAL month before Election Day. Will you consider making a small contribution?

Thanks for reading. Let’s win this thing.

Angie
