WASHINGTON — Minnesota Democrats facing competitive races are counting on a massive new climate package to help their political chances as they brace for GOP opposition this fall.
"This bill is going to really motivate young voters across the nation," said Democratic U.S. Rep. Angie Craig, who's in a tough re-election battle in the swing Second Congressional District. "We've delivered on the single biggest bill to address climate change in the history of our country."
Craig's Republican opponent, Tyler Kistner, said he would have voted against the package. Kistner, who has been outraised significantly by Craig this cycle, said she "gave me a blessing in voting for something like this."
