Her constituent services team has successfully completed 1,811 cases this Congress alone.\n\n\u201cMy number one priority in Congress is serving my constituents back in Minnesota\u2019s Second Congressional District,\u201d said Rep. Craig. \u201cThat means helping folks recoup their hard-earned money and ensuring that they get the benefits they are entitled to. I am so proud of the work my team has done to make Minnesotans whole, and we\u2019ll keep working to put every penny we can back into the pockets of folks in CD2.\u201d\n\nLast month, the Congressional Management Foundation awarded Rep.
