> **Man also can’t vote for Angie Craig—because he doesn’t live in her district** > A Minnesota Democrat desperate to convince voters that she has cross-party appeal hopes enlisting a Republican who doesn’t live in her district and voted in the 2020 Democratic primary could help her case. > Rep. Angie Craig, who is facing a tough reelection race against Republican Tyler Kistner in Minnesota's Second Congressional District, released an ad featuring a man who calls himself a Minnesota native and "lifelong Republican." That man, David Vesledahl, bashes Kistner and praises Craig’s votes in Congress. > "When Dave called me to share his story, I promised him that I would continue to do everything in my power to lower prescription drug costs for Minnesotans," Craig said in a statement. "Everyone deserves access to high-quality, affordable health care—and I’ll be fighting back against the pharmaceutical companies every step of the way." > But Vesledahl no longer lives in Craig’s district since Minnesota redrew its congressional map this year. He lives in Nerstrand, Minn., which is located in the state’s First Congressional District. Vesledahl's claim that he’s a "lifelong Republican" is also contradicted by the fact that he voted in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, according to voter files obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
