39. Michele Bachmann

Michele Bachmann served as the U.S. Representative for Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District from 2007 to 2015, becoming the first Republican woman from Minnesota elected to the House, and was a vocal member of the Congressional Israel Allies Caucus. A devout evangelical Christian and longtime advocate for the Jewish state, she now serves as Dean of the Robertson School of Government at Regent University, where she founded the Israel Institute. The Institute is sponsoring its first class of students at Hebrew University in Israel and, in early 2026, is taking college students to a concentration camp in Poland before continuing on to Israel, which is part of her effort to form a new generation of leaders who understand Israel’s history and stand with the Jewish people.

As Co-Chair of the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast, Bachmann calls Christians worldwide to pray for Israel’s peace and protection and has been a consistent advocate for a united Jerusalem and the relocation of the U.S. Embassy to Israel’s capital. After the October 7 massacre, she intensified that work through interviews, conferences, and public advocacy, including speaking in support of Israel at Turning Point USA. She also serves as board chair of the Family Research Council and recently joined an FRC trip to film a documentary supporting Israel’s sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.
