Michelle Fischbach — Republican Candidate for U.S. House in Minnesota, 2026

Michelle Fischbach voted for a six-month Continuing Resolution that included the SAVE Act, aiming to prevent non-citizens from illegally voting by requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration. She expressed that strengthening faith in elections requires ensuring non-citizens cannot vote. Fischbach also co-sponsored the "REMAIN in Mexico Act of 2025," which mandates the continuation of the Migrant Protection Protocols, requiring certain asylum seekers to wait in Mexico. Additionally, she has defended ICE actions.

“"In states like Minnesota, illegal immigrants are able to get a driver's license and other forms of identification that can be used to vote illegally. I voted for the six month Continuing Resolution because it included the SAVE Act, which guarantees non-citizens will not be able to illegally vote in our elections," said Rep. Fischbach."My colleagues on the Left love to talk about threats to our democracy, but Minnesota Governor Walz knows that non-citizens are appearing on voter rolls and even receiving ballots and has done nothing about it. It is critical to our democracy that voters have faith in their elections, and I am proud to vote for legislation that would strengthen that faith." (Michelle Fischbach, Rep. Fischbach on Continuing Resolution and the SAVE Act, September 18, 2024)”

Michelle Fischbach introduced and voted for H.R. 6945, the Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act, which ensures pregnancy resource centers can receive federal TANF funding. She emphasizes supporting both the unborn and mothers throughout their journey, aiming for expectant mothers to feel confident in raising their families. Fischbach also advocates for patient-centered reforms to increase competition and lower healthcare costs, while safeguarding protections for individuals with preexisting conditions. She holds a lifetime voting record of 100% with National Right to Life.

“By codifying the use of TANF funds for these centers, we are guaranteeing that states have the tools to protect the most vulnerable among us," Fischbach stated on January 8, 2026, when introducing the Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act. "Conservatives are committed to supporting both the unborn and their mothers throughout their entire journey. We want every expectant mother to feel confident and equipped to raise her family.”

Michelle Fischbach has a low lifetime score from the League of Conservation Voters (LCV), receiving a 0% in 2025 and a lifetime score of 2%. She voted against the Reliable Power Act in 2026 and consistently opposed measures such as rescinding protections for the Boundary Waters and defunding the DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. She also opposes Green New Deal initiatives, viewing them as an attack on rural America.

Michelle Fischbach has consistently voted against legislation protecting abortion access and supported bills that aid anti-abortion centers. She voted "nay" on the Women's Health Protection Act of 2021, the Right to Contraception Act, and the Ensuring Women’s Right to Reproductive Freedom Act. Ms. Fischbach introduced the Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act, stating it ensures women facing unplanned pregnancies receive support rather than being pressured into a life-ending decision. She holds a 100% lifetime voting record with National Right to Life.

“"Pregnancy Resource Centers were created to support expectant mothers, fathers, and families," said Rep. Fischbach. "Every woman deserves a safe environment where she is empowered and educated on available resources rather than being pressured into a life-ending decision. This bill is necessary to protect resources that meet the genuine needs of mothers, families, and children." — Rep. Michelle Fischbach, Fischbach.house.gov, January 8, 2026”
