What they stand for
Fischbach has spent time focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
- 01Opposes federal funding for Planned ParenthoodFischbach sponsored the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2025 (HR.271), which would restrict federal funding to Planned Parenthood Federation of America affiliates, and the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2023 (HR.371), an earlier version of the same legislation. Both bills were referred to committee. The 2025 bill attracted 50 to 99 cosponsors; the 2023 version attracted 71 cosponsors.
- 02Restricts federal abortion funding through legislationFischbach sponsored the Protecting Life and Taxpayers Act of 2025 (HR.272), which would establish limitations on the use of federal funds for abortion services. The bill was referred to committee and attracted 45 cosponsors. It represents a related but distinct legislative effort from her Planned Parenthood funding bills.
- 03Supports maternal and parenting support programsFischbach sponsored the MOMS Act (HR.3235) and the Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act (HR.6945), both of which would establish or expand federal support structures for pregnant women and parents. Both bills were reintroduced and referred to committee, reflecting sustained engagement with this policy area across multiple Congresses.
- 04Voted against multiple continuing appropriations measuresFischbach voted against final passage of several continuing appropriations acts that became law, including the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (HR.9747), the Further Continuing Appropriations and Other Extensions Act, 2024 (HR.6363), the further continuing appropriations act for fiscal year ending September 30 (HR.2872), and the Extension of Continuing Appropriations and Other Matters Act, 2024 (HR.7463). Each vote was against her party's majority position.
- 05Addresses rural healthcare and economic access gapsFischbach sponsored the Protecting Rural Seniors' Access to Care Act (HR.1683), which would modify federal rules affecting healthcare access in rural communities, and the Investing in Rural America Act of 2025 (HR.1246), which would direct federal investment toward rural areas. Both bills were referred to committee and reintroduced from prior Congresses, reflecting continued attention to rural constituents in Minnesota's 7th district.

01 · Background
Who they are, where they came from
Michelle Fischbach represents Minnesota's 7th congressional district, a heavily rural district that is Minnesota's largest by area and encompasses most of the western part of the state. She has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since January 3, 2021. An attorney by training, Fischbach previously served as the 49th lieutenant governor of Minnesota from 2018 to 2019, making her, as of 2026, the last Republican to have held statewide office in Minnesota. In Congress, Fischbach has sponsored legislation addressing federal funding for family planning (HR.271, HR.371), maternal and parenting support (HR.3235, HR.6945), rural healthcare access (HR.1683), rural economic investment (HR.1246), wildlife habitat (HR.4591), hearing device coverage under federal programs (HR.1921), law enforcement education (HR.3436), and transit procurement rules (HR.3586). She has also sponsored a bill restricting federal funds from being used for abortion services (HR.272). On appropriations, she voted against several continuing resolutions and extensions that received broad House support (HR.9747, HR.6363, HR.2872, HR.7463). She voted against the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (HR.2670) and against the Building Chips in America Act of 2023 (S.2228). She also voted against the Billie Jean King Congressional Gold Medal Act (S.2861). One bill she sponsored, designating a U.S. Postal Service facility in her district, was enacted into law (HR.8841).
