Political career
From 2000 to 2001 he interned in the congressional offices of United States Senator Susan Collins and Congressman John Baldacci.[5] In 2002 he was a delegate to the Maine State Democratic Convention.[5] From 2002 to 2004 he served as Vice Chairman of the Aroostook County Democratic Party.[5] From 2003 to 2004 he served as Director of the Minded Democrats Political Action Committee and Director of the Northern Maine Empowerment Council.[5] He was also a member of the state's Democratic Committee.[5]
He was elected to the Maine House of Representatives at the age of 22, representing Presque Isle, Maine for three terms from 2002-2008, including one term as chair of the Appropriations Committee, which oversees the state budget. Following the Democratic Party takeover of the Maine Legislature in November 2012, Fischer emerged as one of the contenders for the constitutional office of State Treasurer[6] before losing to Neria Douglass.
