Fishman was inspired by former [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]] bassist [[Krist Novoselic]] to take action in his local elections. Fishman publicly endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders in both the 2016 and 2020 democratic primaries. Fishman cites Sanders leadership in Burlington and dedication to upholding the arts as primary factors for his support. In 2017, he was voted a [[selectman]] of Lincolnville, Maine.<ref name="election">{{cite news|url=https://bangordailynews.com/2017/06/14/news/midcoast/phish-drummer-elected-as-lincolnville-selectman/|title=Phish drummer, filmmaker elected as Lincolnville selectmen|last=McCrea|first=Nick|date=June 14, 2017|work=Bangor Daily News|access-date=June 14, 2017|location=Bangor, Maine}}</ref> He did not run for reelection in 2020.<ref>{{cite news |title=Lincolnville Board of Selectmen Candidate Mike Ray |url=https://www.penbaypilot.com/article/lincolnville-board-selectmen-candidate-mike-ray/135714 |access-date=12 April 2025 |work=Penobscot Bay Pilot |date=June 30, 2020}}</ref>
