MN US House

The 6th District Congressman is the first from the state elected to a leadership position in the chamber in 100 years.

Only seven of 56 congressional rematch challenges between major party nominees have been successful since the DFL merger in 1944.

All five previous winners of Minnesota U.S. House special elections were successful in their reelection bids.

Since the DFL merger in 1944, 304 Republican and DFL Minnesota U.S. Representatives have been renominated for the office – none by a closer margin than Omar.

In just two cycles, Omar has already faced more primary challengers than all but one U.S. Representative in DFL history.

History was made Tuesday with a record number of candidates on the ballot.

Barring any candidate withdrawals by Wednesday, voters will have more Republican and Democratic choices than in any congressional district primary election in state history.
