US-Abgeordneter Larson liest Republikanern wegen Musk die Leviten

#Minnesota #MNdistrict7 Representative Michelle Fischbach has raised $1,447,152, half from #PACs and far less than half from Minnesotans.. $1.5M in District 7 is insane.There are about 500,000 voters in the district.

District 7 is #rural; #agriculture is the primary and secondary industries through most of it. In her first term M Fischbach was on the #AcgCommittee. Now most of her time is in #WaysAndMeansCommittee, #EthicsCommittee, #RulesCommittee, & #BudgetCommittee.
