Dr Craig has been a Labour MP since 2017, is a parliamentary private secretary for health, and a member of the social services and community select committee.
She was pleased with the announcement, and said it was a huge privilege.
"Since Labour came into office in 2017, the Government has contributed significantly to its economic development and I’m committed to ensuring this continues into another term."
It included financial support for the Invercargill inner city redevelopment, the Stead St stopbank upgrade, and Invercargill Airport’s air cargo and terminal development.
"Many local schools, churches and marae have also received funding for renovations and property upgrades, with the environment also benefiting from support for projects to increase native tree replanting, wetland restoration and predator control".
