Michael E. Fleck (born 1973) is a Republican former member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the 81st legislative district.

His coming-out announcement was ranked as one of "2012's Top Coming Out Stories" along with those of journalist Anderson Cooper, actor Matt Bomer and Good Morning America's Sam Champion.

Fleck narrowly won the Democratic nomination as a write-in candidate,[7][8] but lost to Irvin in the general election.

"[11] In December 2014, Fleck was appointed to newly elected Governor Tom Wolf's transition committee.

[12] In June 2015, Fleck joined the Wolf Administration as the Director of the Bureau of Workforce Partnerships and Operations, with the Department of Labor and Industry, overseeing the state's 67 Careerlink Sites.

[13] Fleck attended Southern Huntingdon County High School and earned a degree in history and a minor in youth ministry in 1995 from Liberty University.

[10] On November 14, 2013, Huntingdon County Treasurer Rich Irvin announced he was running against Fleck; Irvin stated "I am not going to accept money from special interest groups, my campaign is going to be funded from within the district boundaries … I do not want to run any kind of negative campaign.

[28] Fleck told the Altoona Mirror, "People know that we don't differ on the fundamental issues the district is facing and that at the end of the day, he was simply recruited to run against me because I announced that I was gay".

[42] New York Downtown Hospital was a few blocks from the World Trade Center; on Sept. 11th Dr. Licht took a leading role in managing the medical response.

[16] He and Democratic Rep. Brian Sims share the designation of the first openly gay members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly.

[4] However, most media outlets recognize Fleck as the first openly gay legislator as Sims wasn't sworn into office yet.
