Policy and campaign finance information
There are no documented policy positions on file for any of the seven candidates. That means the race listing does not establish where Omar, Reeves, Windhauser, Al-aqidi, Jackson, LE or Nagel stands on specific federal issues.
Campaign finance totals are also not listed for any candidate. There are no figures for total funds raised, total spending or cash on hand for Omar or any of the other six candidates. As a result, the current entries do not offer a financial comparison among the campaigns.
Election date and next steps
The general election for Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District is set for Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. The seat is a U.S. House office, and the race is marked as contested.
The candidate list and any later official filings will determine what additional information voters can review before Election Day. Items to follow include changes to the candidate field, documented policy statements, candidate biographies and campaign finance totals for each campaign.
