Congresswoman Fischbach Seeks Another Term in Congress

Litchfield, Minnesota – Today, Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach announced her campaign for another term as the Seventh District Representative. Fischbach was elected to Congress in 2020 and recently secured re-election with over 70% of the vote.

“It is a new day in Washington, D.C., with President Trump in the White House and republican majorities in Congress,” said Fischbach. “We have been given an opportunity by voters to do the things that are needed to save our great nation. I launched my campaign in 2020 to push for stronger rural communities by cutting federal spending, rolling back burdensome regulations, and defending individual rights. We’re seeing these priorities being put into action under the America First agenda, and I want to continue working as the advocate for western Minnesota.”

Rep. Fischbach is now serving her third term after winning in November 2024 with the highest number of votes of any Minnesota congressional candidate of either party.

REPUBLICAN DELEGATION STATEMENT ON MNLEG SESSION

REPUBLICAN DELEGATION STATEMENT ON MNLEG SESSION

Litchfield, Minnesota – U.S. Representatives Tom Emmer (MN-06), Pete Stauber (MN-08), Brad Finstad (MN-01), and Michelle Fischbach (MN-07) issued the following statement in reaction to the recently concluded state legislative session:

“In just five months, the unchecked Democrat Party has wreaked unprecedented havoc on Minnesotans and our future. For weeks, fellow Members of Congress from across the country have been asking us what is wrong with the lawmakers in St. Paul. Like us, they are shocked at how the Democrat-controlled legislature in a few short months recklessly blew an $18 billion surplus on a partisan, special-interest spending spree. When that wasn’t enough to satisfy them, they passed $10 billion in tax increases on the same hardworking Minnesotans who were overtaxed in the first place. Remember the $2,000 rebate checks the Democrats promised during the campaign last fall? Many Minnesotans who pay taxes won’t even receive a penny back, while some will receive $260 at most, much of which will go right back to St. Paul in new delivery, sales, and gas taxes. Governor Walz and the Democrat-controlled legislature duped Minnesotans.

“Their overreach didn’t end with reckless spending. They pursued a litany of other extreme agenda items from new attacks on our 2nd Amendment rights, to drivers licenses for illegal immigrants, to California Green New Deal measures and everything in between. And, of course, with all that spending the only thing they decided to cut was funding for pregnancy care centers for women wanting an alternative to abortion. From the Range to the Red River to Rochester and Rockville, average Minnesotans will remember the Democrats’ broken promises and extreme anti-police, anti-freedom, and anti-common sense policies that are anything but ‘One Minnesota.’”

Backers Endorse Fischbach For 7th District Race

Backers Endorse Fischbach For 7th District Race

LITCHFIELD, MN – Michelle Fischbach, the Trump-endorsed Republican candidate for western Minnesota’s 7th District and former Lt. Governor of Minnesota, today picked up the endorsements from two of west central Minnesota’s strongest conservative voices in Minnesota State Representative Jeff Backer and Big Stone County Commissioner Jay Backer.

“Michelle Fischbach is a battle-tested conservative leader who has what it takes to get the job done and retire Collin Peterson. During her time as a citizen legislator in the Minnesota Senate, Michelle had a 100% pro-life voting record and was ‘A’ rated by the NRA,” said Representative Jeff Backer. “With her proven record and President Trump’s full backing, we have confidence that Michelle will represent our conservative values in Congress and help President Trump keep America safe and our economy strong. Michelle has our complete endorsement.”

The Backers’ endorsement comes on the heels of Fischbach being named a Young Gun “Contender” on Monday and is the latest signal that Fischbach is the clear front-runner to win the 7th District Republican Party’s endorsement on Saturday, May 2.

“I’m honored to have the support of Jeff and Jay Backer and grateful for the confidence they’re placing in me to unite the Republican Party and retire Collin Peterson,” said Fischbach. “Jeff and Jay are two of west central Minnesota’s strongest conservative voices and with their help and President Trump’s full backing and confidence, we’re going to flip the 7th District red in November.”

The Backers join a growing list of prominent supporters of Fischbach, topped by “complete & total endorsement” of President Donald J. Trump. To date, Fischbach has also earned the endorsements of National Right to Life, Minnesota Citizens Concerned For Life, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, Congressman Dan Crenshaw, Congressman Pete Stauber, former Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Senator Tom Cotton, Senator Kevin Cramer, and more than 20 current state legislators who represent portions of Minnesota’s 7th District.
