Lesbian Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN) is celebrating the Minnesota State Fair by continuing a tradition led by prior state officials, and fans of her are cheering her on.

Last week, Craig posted a photo of her on X surrounded by shirtless firefighters while being held by a strong female firefighter. She thanked the firefighters in the local community in the post.

This post is a reference to a trend started by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) where, during last year’s State Fair, she posted a picture of herself to social media surrounded by shirtless, muscular firefighters at the Minnesota AFL-CIO union location.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) posted a follow-up picture of her with many of the same firefighters as well, including the same female firefighter from Craig’s post.

Klobuchar brought some attention to the firefighters again this year, expressing her excitement for this year’s State Fair by sharing last year’s photo with the shirtless firefighters.
