Dr. Craig was a public voice in opposition to Governor Scott Walker's budget reforms, stating that the legislation "jeopardizes educational opportunities for students." She was praised by many across the state including State Senator Kathleen Vinehout for "speaking the truth."[4][5] Craig was also a vocal opponent regarding voucher expansion in the State of Wisconsin.[6] Craig testified to the Wisconsin State Senate Committee for Review of the Common Core State Standards Initiative in 2013 to voice her support of common core.
