District 5 [ edit ]
The 5th district was previously centered on Nashville and the immediate surrounding suburbs, but it also contained parts of Cheatham and Dickson county. The incumbent is Democrat Jim Cooper , who ran unopposed in 2020. On January 25, Cooper announced he would withdraw his candidacy for re-election and refund all campaign contributions,[17] citing the state legislature's move to split Davidson County into three congressional districts.[18] Under the Republican redistricting plan, the new 5th district will shift from D+9 to R+15 and contain only a small Southern part of Nashville, with the 6th and 7th districts absorbing the West and East parts of Davidson county, respectively.[19]
