(ST PAUL, MINN) — Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach has advanced to the November Republican general election ballot after defeating challenger Steve Boyd. The incumbent has served as Minnesota’s 7th District Congresswoman since 2021.
Fischbach held a lead of nearly 30 percent with nearly 80 percent of all precincts reporting.
“I am happy with this validation of the work I have done and will continue to do on behalf of the good people in western Minnesota,” Fischbach said in a statement. “I am honored to be their voice in D.C. advocating for decency, common sense, and our rural way of life. In 2020, we had a contested primary, but we came together afterward, united by our shared belief in life, family values, and the need to stop the out of control spending and burdensome regulations coming from Washington. I am looking forward to coming together to win in November and get to work to make America prosperous, safe, and strong again.”
Fischbach will face DFL candidate AJ Peters, who ran unopposed.
