RELEASE: CRAIG SKIPS TONIGHT’S DEBATE TO FUNDRAISE WITH NANCY PELOSI

Oct 10, 2016

October 10, 2016–Cottage Grove, MN…Tonight, Angie Craig will be fundraising behind closed doors with liberal DC insider Nancy Pelosi instead of talking to voters – a clear sign that Angie’s loyalties lie with the Washington establishment rather than Minnesotans.

Craig’s decision to skip what would have been the first 2nd District congressional debate in order to campaign with Pelosi forced a local Chamber of Commerce to cancel their event, denying voters the opportunity to hear from Craig and Jason Lewis side by side.

With Craig and Pelosi campaigning together, it begs the question – does Angie Craig support Pelosi’s radical agenda?

  • As Speaker, Pelosi helped pass unaffordable Obamacare, even admitting Congress had to “pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it”
  • Pelosi supports open borders and admitting MORE Syrian refugees – even though her district has resettled none
  • Pelosi is against school choice and like Craig, is backed by tens of thousands of dollars in union money
  • Pelosi supports job-killing EPA regulations like the Clean Power Plan, which could kill thousands of jobs in our district
  • Pelosi stands for higher spending and bigger, more expensive government

Craig stands with Pelosi – not with us.

Jason Lewis spent 25 years on the air as a voice in the national political conversation, talking with Minnesotans and Americans about solutions to our greatest problems. An active Minnesota resident for two decades, he and his wife Leigh have two young daughters, Lindsey and Lauren. Jason is also an author, public speaker, and started his career running Lewis Motor Supply, a small family business founded by his grandfather. Lewis won his competitive, multi-candidate primary contest with 49% of the vote share on August 9, 2016.
