The 5th Congressional District election in Alabama is headed for a runoff.

The top leading candidates, Dale Strong and Casey Wardynski, will now face each other in a runoff election slated for June 21 after neither candidate cleared the 50% vote threshold needed to win the GOP primary.

Strong, currently chairman of the Madison County Commission, crossed over the $1 million mark for campaign donations last week after he loaned his campaign $150,000, making him the top candidate for fundraising among the six in the GOP primary race for Mo Brooks's seat.

Other candidates coming up behind Strong in fundraising include Wardynski, who had raised $552,000, and John Roberts, who stood in third place for contributions with $168,509, according to the latest campaign finance reporting period of April 1 to May 4.
