Dear John,



It was a busy week, but I’m back to keep you in the loop on how I am fighting
for our conservative values.


We all waited to see if Manhattan's District Attorney would indict President
Trump on a charge that other jurisdictions have already dismissed. Whether
you’re a Republican or Democrat, wielding the power of the justice system
against political opponents is unacceptable. Lady Justice is blindfolded
because the application of the law is neutral and unbiased. I applaud Speaker
McCarthy’s direction to investigate if federal funds are being used for
“politically motivated prosecutions.”



When Republicans made our Commitment to America, we swore to uphold and defend
the rights of parents over their children’s education. I am proud to say we are
following through. House Republicans passed the Parents Bill of Rights Act,
which enshrines key protections for parents such as the right to review
curriculum and inspect reading materials. Parents know what's best for their
children. That’s why they should be involved, ensuring their education aligns
with their family values and goals.



While it didn’t make the final bill, I supported Congressman Massie’s
amendment on the matter that would abolish the Department of Education. This
would enable states and local communities to reclaim authority over education
policy and funding since the Constitution does not empower the federal
government to oversee education. The Founding Fathers intended education to be
a local matter. They believed that communities should have the power to shape
education according to their unique values, rather than the federal government.



House Republicans rebuked President Biden's failed energy agenda by advancing
our counter proposal that slashes regulations and unleashes untapped energy
potential. With Democrats aiming to kill our bill in the Senate, it serves as a
clear juxtaposition about where they stand on American energy. They’d rather
burden our producers with onerous regulations, stand with China over our energy
workers, and stunt production. Unleashing American energy will not only power
our nation but also fuel our economy and return us to energy independence.

Early Thursday morning, the residents of Raymond in Kandiyohi County were
evacuated due to a frightening train derailment just west of town. Thankfully,
the evacuation lasted less than 12 hours, and there were no reported injuries.
We are very grateful for the speedy response from first responders, and the
hospitality granted by the nearby community of Prinsburg. From the onset, my
team has been monitoring the situation closely. Yesterday, I was able to visit
Raymond and hear directly about the scope of the accident and what the next
steps are. My team and I will continue working with local officials to provide
support as needed.



As always, please contact my office if there is anything we can help with.
Thank you for your continued support!



With gratitude,








Michelle Fischbach
