I'm Jessica Young, state policy and advocacy manager here at the Medical Alley Association, and your host for today. Joining me is Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach, who represents Minnesota's seventh congressional district. Her constituency spans the western half of the state, running from the Canadian border all the way down to near the Iowa border. This is the congresswoman's first term, though she is certainly no stranger to representing the people of Minnesota. She has an impressive resume and has held a number of positions at the state level, including Lieutenant Governor, before being elected as the Congresswoman for the seventh district. Representative Fischbach currently serves on the agriculture committee and the judiciary committee. It is great to talk to you again, Congresswoman, and thank you so much for joining me today.</p><p>U.S. Rep. Michelle Fischbach (01:37):<br />Thank you. I really, really appreciate it. And I will just add that I do sit on the rules committee also. I sit on three committees, which which is a little unusual for a freshmen, but really do love all of the committees I sit on with ag and rules and judiciary.</p><p>Jessica Young (01:54):<br />Thank you for mentioning that. That is a good one
