Michelle L. Fischbach (born November 3, 1965) is a Minnesota politician, a member and the current president of the Minnesota Senate, representing District 14, which includes portions of Benton and Stearns counties in the west central part of the state. Prior to the 2002 redistricting, the district also included portions of Morrison and Pope counties. A Republican, she was first elected to the Senate in a 1996 special election held after the resignation of Senator Joe Bertram, Sr. She was re-elected in the Fall 1996 general election and, again, in 2000, 2002, 2006 and 2010. She was an assistant minority leader from 2001 to 2002 and from 2007 to 2008, and deputy minority leader from 2009 to 2010. Since January 2011, she has served as senate president, becoming the first woman to do so.[1][2]

Fischbach is currently a member of the Senate's Finance Committee, the Health, Housing and Family Security Committee, and the Transportation Committee. She also serves on the Finance subcommittees for the Economic Development and Housing Budget Division, the Health and Human Services Budget Division, and the Transportation Budget and Policy Division, on the Finance-Economic Development and Housing Budget Division with Health, Housing and Family Security Subcommittee for Housing, and on the Transportation Subcommittee for Airways, Waterways and Railways.[3]

Fischbach attended Woodbury High School in Woodbury, then attended college at the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph from 1984 to 1986 and, later, at St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, where she received a B.A. in political science and economics in 1989. She served on the Paynesville City Council from 1995 to 1996. She is married to Scott Fischbach, who is executive director of Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life.[4] She and her husband live in Paynseville and are the parents of two children.[5]
