In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“In 2024, I earned more votes than Ilhan Omar had in Minneapolis. This year, we plan to build on these successes and make western Minnesota into a Republican powerhouse that offsets the metro vote.”
Caucus Letter 2026 - Fischbach for CongressFeb 3, 2026 · Self-published · Fischbach for Congress · source
“As your voice in Washington, D.C, I serve you on the House Ways & Means and Rules committees. I am also Co-Chair of the House Pro-Life caucus. In this session of Congress, I have prioritized strong rural communities through protecting tax cuts, increasing funding for the border wall and ICE agents, and seeking fair trade deals for agriculture products.”
