Massachusetts's 5th congressional district is acongressional district in easternMassachusetts. The district is represented byKatherine Clark of theDemocratic Party. Massachusetts's congressional redistricting after the2010 census changed the borders of the district starting with the elections of 2012, with the new3rd district largely taking the place of the old 5th.[3] The 5th district covers many of the communities represented in the old7th district.

On July 15, 2013,Ed Markey resigned from the seat to become the junior Senator from Massachusetts. On December 10, 2013, Democrat Katherine Clark won aspecial election to fill the seat for the remainder of the113th Congress.[4] She was sworn into office on December 12, 2013, and since January 2023 serves as theHouse Minority Whip.

The district has been in Democratic hands without interruption since 1975. BeforePaul Tsongas' victory that year, it had only elected three Democrats in its entire existence and had been inRepublican hands since 1895. It was one of the more moderate districts in heavily Democratic Massachusetts before redistricting in 2013. In state races, it supported Republican candidates forGovernorWilliam Weld,Paul Celluci, andMitt Romney. In the 2007 special election to replaceMarty Meehan, Republican candidateJim Ogonowski ran an unexpectedly strong race before ultimately losing, 51–45%.

Composition

[edit]

Massachusetts's congressional redistricting after the2020 census (commencing with the 2022 election and the 118th Congress, whose House members were sworn in on January 3, 2023) assigns the 5th congressional district to much ofMiddlesex County, part ofNorfolk County, and part ofSuffolk County.
