Steve Boyd, Rep. Michelle Fischbach

ALEXANDRIA, Minn. (KFGO KVRR) – A rural Kensington, Minnesota man is running in the Republican primary for the District 7 U.S. House seat held by Rep. Michelle Fischbach.

Steve Boyd, who brands himself a “Christian conservative,” said his platform includes protecting life, border security, restoring the family and abolishing the U.S. Dept. of Education.

“The federal government has no business in public or private education, it was never meant to, and the bureaucracy of the Department of Education needs to be abolished,” Boyd said.

Boyd said he admires Fischbach’s determination, but said “with the problems we are facing in this nation, business as usual just won’t get it done.”

An email seeking comment from Fischbach was not returned.
