Full profile
Race overview
Thomas Earl Jr. Emmer is running as a Republican for U.S. House in Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District. He is the incumbent, meaning he currently holds the office.
The district’s general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. It is a contested race with eight candidates: four DFL candidates, two Republicans and two independents.
Emmer’s official entry identifies his full name, party affiliation and status as the incumbent. A candidate biography is not on file. Neither are figures for money raised, money spent or cash on hand.
The complete candidate field
All eight candidates are running for the same U.S. House seat in Minnesota’s 6th District. The candidate list identifies each person’s name and party affiliation:

The party breakdown does not indicate which candidate will advance or receive the most votes. It identifies only how each candidate is listed in this general election contest.
Policy positions and campaign money
No documented policy positions are on file for Emmer or any of the other seven candidates. That means there is no official position listed here on taxes, federal spending, health care, immigration, agriculture, public safety, foreign policy or other issues handled by Congress.
Party labels identify the affiliation under which candidates are running, but they do not establish an individual candidate’s position on a specific issue. Without a documented position from a candidate, no stance can be assigned to that person.
Fundraising totals, spending totals and cash-on-hand figures are also not on file for any candidate in the race. As a result, the candidate entries do not establish financial comparisons among the campaigns.
What the election will decide
Voters in Minnesota’s 6th District will choose among the candidates in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election for U.S. House. Emmer enters the contest as the only candidate identified as the incumbent.
The remaining candidates include three other DFL contenders alongside Wicklund, two independents and one other Republican. Each is seeking the same district seat, and none has documented policy positions or campaign finance figures on file.
Before voting, voters can watch for changes to the candidate roster and for official candidate filings that add biographical, policy or campaign finance information. Those records would allow comparisons beyond names, party affiliations and Emmer’s incumbent status.
