Businessman Files to Challenge Fischbach for Republican Nomination to U.S. House of Representatives

(KNSI) — Minnesota’s Seventh District Congresswoman will have competition for the Republican nomination in the 2024 primary.

Steve Boyd is a businessman from the Alexandria area and says he will challenge incumbent Representative Michelle Fischbach. In a press release, Boyd says he is “committed to taking on issues that many of our current leaders aren’t willing to address.”

Boyd calls himself a “Christian, conservative, husband and father of five.” He owns a turf management and mosquito control company.

He and his wife Talitha are “active members of the community and have devoted many hours of service, volunteering at their church, coaching youth sports and as volunteers and part of the leadership for a local non-profit that supports families in crisis,” according to the release.

He is also a Constitution Coach for Patriot Academy, a national organization dedicated to teaching the public about America’s founding as a Christian country. He teaches Biblical Citizenship courses at local churches and online.

“We live in a Congressional district that votes overwhelmingly for Republican candidates,” said Boyd. “We should be championing issues that matter to ordinary conservatives, especially fighting back against the left’s war on Christianity and our Constitution. I admire Rep. Fischbach’s determination to making a career out of holding onto public office since the late 1900s, but with the problems we are facing in this nation, business as usual just won’t get it done.”
