I first remember watching Michele Bachmann in the race for the Republican Presidential candidate in 2011. Her strong conservative and Christian values stood out and made her a lightening rod, but education has always been her passion and her role in Regent University brings her vision for learning to higher education. She joins us to look back at her political life in Congress and to discuss how higher education can hold back the woke wave that is engulfing the western world. Michele Bachmann was born in Waterloo, Iowa. She received a B.A. in Political Science and English from Winona State University in 1978. She married Marcus Bachmann, a clinical therapist who holds a master’s degree from Regent University. In 1986, she received a Juris Doctor degree from Oral Roberts University. She was a member of the ORU law school’s final graduating class, and was part of a group of faculty, staff, and students who moved the ORU law school library to Regent University. Two years later, she completed a Master of Law in taxation at the College of William & Mary. She worked for four years as a lawyer for the Internal Revenue Service’s Office of Chief Counsel in St. Paul, Minnesota. Michele and her husband have five children. They also worked with a private foster care agency to house 23 children in their home during the 1990s. Their children were home schooled and also attended private Christian schools, and her political career stemmed from her interest in education reform. In 2000, Michele defeated a long-time moderate incumbent for a state senate seat in Minnesota. In 2006, she entered the race to represent her suburban Minneapolis congressional district, winning 52 percent of the vote, becoming the first Republican woman from Minnesota elected to the House of Representatives. She easily won re-election in 2008 and 2010. Michele's extensive career highlights include: She was the first Republican woman from Minnesota elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Michele served as a United States Congresswoman representing Minnesota’s 6th District from 2007 to 2015. She quickly became a national figure in the Republican Party and a founding member of the congressional Tea Party Caucus. In 2011, Michele announced her bid for the Republican presidential nomination and ran for president in 2012 and is a highly respected leader who is deeply committed to conservative values in government.
