Wadena, MN – U.S. House candidate for Minnesota’s 7th Congressional District Erik Osberg raised $51,893 in the first quarter of 2026, bringing his total campaign dollars raised to $212,306.

Osberg’s campaign says they’ve raised over four times the combined total of the previous two DFL-endorsed candidates in the district for their entire campaign cycles.

Osberg says he’s blown away by the contributions people in the district have made. “The incredible support we’ve received this year provides us with the resources we need to hit the ground running post endorsement and to run a strong people-powered campaign in what we expect will be a highly competitive general election,” said Osberg.

Looking at the other candidates, incumbent Michelle Fischbach has raised a total of $987,632, and fellow DFL candidate Heather Keeler has raised $50,141.
