MN-02: Notable moments from debate between Rep. Angie Craig and GOP challenger Joe Teirab
U.S. Rep. Angie Craig and Republican challenger Joe Teirab sparred during a lively debate at Minnesota Public Radio studios on Friday.
Craig and Teirab are running to represent Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District — the state’s most competitive. In May, the Cook Political Report moved the 2nd District from “likely Democrat” to merely leaning that way. A Cook Political Report ranking released Friday was unchanged.
Teirab, a son of a Sudanese immigrant, is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and was both a county and federal prosecutor before his congressional run. Craig is running for her fourth term. All of her races have been close, and she lost her first election in 2016.
The candidates touched on typical talking points: Teirab attacked Craig on the economy, while Craig hit Teirab on his anti-abortion views.
