Langkraehr’s candidacy
Randall David (Randy) Langkraehr is running as a Libertarian for the U.S. House in Missouri’s 5th Congressional District. The contested general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.
Langkraehr has no biography on file. Fundraising, spending and cash-on-hand figures are also not on file, and there are no documented policy positions for the candidate. A party label identifies a candidate’s place in the race, but it does not establish that candidate’s personal position on a specific issue.

Policy positions and campaign finance
No documented policy positions are on file for any candidate in the race. That means Langkraehr’s views on individual issues cannot be described from the candidate record, and the same is true for Becker, Patty, Beebe, Smith, Brattin, Burks, Foltz, Hueffmeier, Hughes, Knox and Cleaver.
No fundraising, spending or cash-on-hand figures are on file for any of the 12 candidates. A missing campaign finance figure should not be treated as a reported total of zero. Voters can watch for campaign finance filings that place specific amounts on the public record.
Election timeline
