Info

Minnesota's 5th congressional district is a geographically small urban and suburban congressional district in Minnesota. It covers eastern Hennepin County, including the entire city of Minneapolis, along with parts of Anoka and Ramsey counties. It was created in 1883 and was named the "Bloody Fifth" on account of the first election. The district is strongly Democratic with a CPVI of D+26-by far the most Democratic district in the state. The district is represented by Keith Ellison, the first Muslim to ever serve in the U.S. House of Representatives, and the first person of color to represent Minnesota in that chamber.
Besides Minneapolis, major cities in the district include St. Louis Park, Edina, Richfield, Crystal, Robbinsdale, Golden Valley, and Fridley.
