WASHINGTON - Minnesota Rep. Angie Craig entered the U.S. Senate race Tuesday, joining a growing field to replace retiring Sen. Tina Smith.

Craig’s entry to the Senate race means she won’t seek a fifth term to her U.S. House seat, a move that’s likely to create a competitive contest to replace her in the Second Congressional District.

Craig’s announcement comes as she’s been raising her profile in recent weeks by holding town halls in the districts of the four Republican members of the Minnesota congressional delegation who have opted to hold virtual town halls instead.

She joins the Democratic field with Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan and former state Sen. Melisa López Franzen, who have been campaigning for the last several weeks. She also joins the race with the most money of the Democrats in the field.
