Rep. Michelle Fischbach, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Minnesota's 7th district, has recently shared her thoughts on social media regarding women's empowerment, trade policies under President Biden, and the historic appointment of an American Pope. Fischbach, who replaced former U.S. Congress member Collin Peterson in 2021 and previously served in the Minnesota Senate from 2017 to 2018, is vocal about her commitments and political observations.

On May 8, 2025, Fischbach expressed her dedication to supporting women through legislative action by introducing the MOMS Act. She stated "I am committed to empowering all women and ensuring they feel supported in choosing life. For many women, finding out you are unexpectedly pregnant comes with fear, and for some, abortion may feel like the only option." The act aims to provide support for women before and during pregnancy.

Later that day at 16:22 UTC, she commended President Biden's trade policy achievements on social media by saying "More promises made and kept by @POTUS. He said he would hold our trade partners accountable and put America first, and he's delivering." Fischbach praised these efforts as part of a broader initiative to prioritize American interests.

On May 9 at 14:00 UTC, Rep. Fischbach celebrated a significant moment in religious history with her tweet "Habemus Papam! We are filled with joy and prayer for Pope Leo XIV, the first ever American Pope!" This marks a milestone as Pope Leo XIV becomes the first American to hold this position.

Michelle Fischbach was born in Woodbury, Minnesota in 1965 and currently resides in Regal. She graduated from St. Cloud State University with a BA in 1989 and earned a JD from William Mitchell College of Law in 2011.
