Mann’s place in the race
Bethany Mann is running as a Democrat for the U.S. House in Missouri’s 3rd Congressional District. The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026, and the race is contested.
Mann is one of four Democrats in a nine-candidate field. The other candidates are one independent, one Libertarian and three Republicans, including a listed incumbent. A candidate’s party label identifies the party affiliation under which that person is running; it does not establish a position on any particular issue.

Policy positions and campaign money
There are no documented policy positions on file for Mann or any of the other eight candidates. That means the official records do not establish where the candidates stand on legislation or issues in the district. Party affiliation alone should not be treated as a candidate’s personal position.
The records also list no figures for money raised, money spent or cash on hand for any of the nine campaigns. Those categories describe campaign financial activity, but no dollar amounts can be compared in this race at this point.
Election date and next steps
The general election will take place Nov. 3, 2026. Voters following the contest can watch for official candidate biographies, documented issue positions and campaign finance figures as the election process continues.
The candidate list includes two Republican entries with similar names: Robert Frank Onder JR and Robert For Jr. Onder. They are presented separately in the race listing, and only Robert For Jr. Onder is identified there as the incumbent. The listing does not establish any further relationship between those entries.
