Rep. Michelle Fischbach

Proudly representing Minnesota's 7th District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Serving on @WaysandMeansGOP and @RulesReps

[Rep. Michelle Fischbach @RepFischbach]

Thank you, Vice President Vance, for referring Governor Walz & AG Ellison to the DOJ for a criminal investigation into their involvement in the $9 billion in stolen money. Minnesotans deserve accountability!

[JD Vance @JDVance]

I’ve referred these allegations to DOJ’s new Fraud Division for criminal investigation. Minnesota state officials are not above the law, and if they facilitated fraud, lied under oath about what they knew, or harassed and intimated whistleblowers, they must face justice.

After Democrats shut down DHS for 76 days and repeatedly blocked efforts to fully fund ICE and Border Patrol, Republicans just passed legislation to ensure our national security remains strong for years to come.

This bill provides funds for the people who fight cartels, terrorists, traffickers, child predators, and illegal aliens by providing:
✅ Stable funding for CBP & ICE through 2029
✅ $22B for Border Patrol agents & equipment
✅ $3.45B to target fentanyl & cartels
✅ $108.5M to hunt child predators

I am truly honored to receive the 2026 Champion of Agriculture Award from American Agri-Women. Agriculture is the foundation of our country and the backbone of our rural communities. I am proud to continue fighting for the hardworking farmers who feed and fuel our nation. Thank you for this incredible recognition @Women4Ag!

[Rep. Michelle Fischbach @RepFischbach]

Happy National Dairy Month! Dairy is a vital part of Minnesota’s economy, and our producers are helping feed the nation and the world!

The House Oversight Committee has exposed Tim Walz and Keith Ellison for their role in the rampant fraud across Minnesota's social programs.

The report reveals that both state officials were aware of the widespread fraud, yet failed to address it. They even went so far as to retaliate against state employees who raised concerns.

Walz and Ellison should be behind bars for punishing whistleblowers and for letting over $9 billion meant for vulnerable Minnesotans be taken by criminal fraudsters. It's time they "lear" what happens when you let fraud rule the state.

[Oversight Committee @GOPoversight]

BREAKING: We just released a BOMBSHELL report exposing how Governor Tim Walz and AG Keith Ellison fueled Minnesota's fraud explosion.

$9 billion in Medicaid lost. $300 million in federal child nutrition funds were placed at serious risk.

Read the report and key takeaways 👇🏻

I had a productive meeting with Lincoln County officials to discuss how they are tackling rural issues head-on. From expanding rural broadband access to increasing daycare options to partnering with Hendricks Workforce Housing LLC for market-rate housing, they are working hard to attract families and employers!

[Rep. Michelle Fischbach @RepFischbach]

It was great to get an update from local USDA FSA staff. They work face-to-face with operations spanning up to four generations. Our farmers deserve a system that works for them, which is why I support expanding training and resources to help folks navigate FSA applications and payment programs smoothly.

[Rep. Michelle Fischbach @RepFischbach]

I met with city officials in Ruthton to discuss their sewer and water improvement project. I was able to help them secure $750,000 towards a water tower replacement, and after a hard-fought process pursuing bonding and grants, they have a plan to connect to Rural Water. This move will save taxpayers roughly $5 million. Proud of this local leadership!

[Rep. Michelle Fischbach @RepFischbach]

I had a great visit with the team at Windom Area Health! Their collaborative leadership model between physicians and the city is a fantastic example of a strong community culture. I especially appreciate their work reaching out to underserved areas to ensure rural healthcare access isn't lost.

[Rep. Michelle Fischbach @RepFischbach]

I stopped by Hank’s Foods to chat about their commitment to the Pipestone community. We also talked about the realities of running a rural grocery store, like competing with mega-corporations for talent recruitment and retention. I will always stand up for the small businesses that fuel Western Minnesota!

[Rep. Michelle Fischbach @RepFischbach]

Today, we honor those who fought bravely in America’s largest sea and land operation to date. Their sacrifice was the turning point in World War II. We thank and remember the heroes of D-Day who served in the name of freedom.

[Ways and Means Committee @WaysandMeansGOP]

A $5 trillion tax hike would have been an economic disaster for working families.

Instead, the Working Families Tax Cuts permanently increased the Child Tax Credit to $2,200 per child and gave millions of families the certainty that comes with lower taxes and bigger take-home pay.

My heart is heavy as I join the law enforcement community in mourning the loss of Lieutenant Tyler Uthe. Lt. Uthe was a respected leader and a dedicated public servant. His loss is felt deeply by all who had the privilege to serve alongside him, and his impact will never be forgotten.

My prayers and deepest condolences are with Tyler’s family, loved ones, and fellow troopers during this incredibly difficult time.

[Rep. Michelle Fischbach @RepFischbach]

House Republicans are cracking down on the broken systems and bad actors that let your hard-earned taxpayer dollars flow to fraudsters instead of vulnerable Americans.

This week, I supported the Stop Child Care Scams Act to mandate penalties for states that fail to fix fraud in child care programs and to stop fraud from impacting children and families.

Minnesotans know that every dollar lost to fraud is a dollar stolen from working families. It's time to bring basic accountability back to our programs.

[Rep. Michelle Fischbach @RepFischbach]

I am proud to have voted for the FY 2027 Agriculture Appropriations bill. This legislation is a win for farmers, ranchers, and rural communities!

[Rep. Michelle Fischbach @RepFischbach]

Staffing remains one of the biggest challenges facing rural Minnesota, and my visit with Ag Builders really drove that home. We discussed the need for qualified trade- and tech-trained workers. It’s great to see how they are partnering with local schools to strengthen tech education pathways.

[Rep. Michelle Fischbach @RepFischbach]

June is National Turkey Lovers' Month, and in Minnesota, that's something worth celebrating!

Minnesota is home to over 400 turkey farms and is the country's #1 turkey-producing state! Our hard-working farmers raise the best birds in the business.

[Rep. Michelle Fischbach @RepFischbach]

When House Republicans passed the Working Families Tax Cuts, our goal was to reject tax hikes and reward hard work. A new Treasury analysis proves this legislation delivered historic relief to families:

💲97% of filers received a tax cut.
💲Over 29M filers claimed No Tax on Overtime, saving an average of over $3,100.
💲Over 35M seniors utilized the Enhanced Senior Deduction, saving an average of over $7,500.
💲Nearly 40M families benefited from the permanently doubled and expanded Child Tax Credit.

[American Sugar Alliance @SugarAlliance]

A personal thank you to @RepFischbach and @RepFinstad for their leadership in helping secure 112 signatures on a letter to @USTradeRep from 3rd-generation sugarbeet farmer James Nelson. Our farmers and workers need an immediate solution to stop the flood of over-quota foreign sugar so we can continue to provide an American-made source of this essential ingredient.

[Rep. Michelle Fischbach @RepFischbach]

Under Walz and Ellison, our state has become an epicenter for unchecked waste, fraud, and abuse. Another multi-million dollar fraud scheme was just uncovered in Minnesota, as two residents were arrested for a $21 million Medicaid scam and treating programs meant for vulnerable families like their own personal piggy banks.

It's time to restore transparency and accountability, and ensure that public funds are protected and actually go to the Minnesotans who truly need them.
