'''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. Besides Minneapolis, major cities in the district include Brooklyn Center, St. Louis Park, Richfield, Crystal, Robbinsdale, Golden Valley, New Hope, Fridley, and a small portion of Edina.

It was created in 1883, and was nicknamed the "Bloody Fifth" on account of its first election.<ref>{{cite web |last=Martin |first=Lawrence |title= Thursday Night Hikes: Capitol Hill/Cathedral Hill Hike Architecture Notes, Part 2 |date=2003-07-15 |url=http://www.angelfire.com/mn/thursdaynighthikes/cap2cathhill.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050406045836/http://www.angelfire.com/mn/thursdaynighthikes/cap2cathhill.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=April 6, 2005 |access-date=2007-02-27}}</ref> The contest between Knute Nelson and Charles F. Kindred involved graft, intimidation, and election fraud at every turn. The Republican convention on July 12 in Detroit Lakes was compared to the historic Battle of the Boyne in Ireland. One hundred and fifty delegates fought over eighty seats. After a scuffle in the main conference center, the Kindred and Nelson campaigns nominated each of their candidates.<ref>{{cite web|last=Martin|first=Lawrence|title= Thursday Night Hikes: Capitol Hill/Cathedral Hill Hike Architecture Notes, Part 2|date=July 15, 2003|url=http://www.angelfire.com/mn/thursdaynighthikes/cap2cathhill.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050406045836/http://www.angelfire.com/mn/thursdaynighthikes/cap2cathhill.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 6, 2005|access-date=February 27, 2007}}</ref><ref name="Zapffe1946">{{cite book|author=Carl Zapffe|title=Brainerd, Minnesota, 1871–1946: Seventy-fifth Anniversary|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=D5AUUMR_JEcC|year=1946|publisher=Published under the auspices of the Brainerd Civic Association}}</ref>

The district is strongly Democratic, with a Cook Partisan Voting Index (CPVI) of D+32 — by far the most Democratic district in the state.<ref name=Cook/> The 5th is also the most Democratic district in the Upper Midwest. The Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) has held the seat without interruption since 1963, and the Republicans have not tallied more than 40 percent of the vote in almost half a century. The 5th district is one of the most diverse in Minnesota; 16% of the district's residents are immigrants, the highest of any district in Minnesota, with the largest countries of origin being Somalia, Ethiopia, Mexico, India, Laos, Ecuador, and Liberia.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Demographic Statistical Atlas of the United States - Statistical Atlas |url=https://statisticalatlas.com/congressional-district/Minnesota/Congressional-District-5/National-Origin |access-date=2024-03-14 |website=statisticalatlas.com}}</ref> The district also has the largest population of Somali Americans in the country, with Somalis making up 3% of the district's population.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Demographic Statistical Atlas of the United States - Statistical Atlas |url=https://statisticalatlas.com/congressional-district/Minnesota/Congressional-District-5/Ancestry |access-date=2024-03-14 |website=statisticalatlas.com}}</ref>

The district is represented by Ilhan Omar, who is the first Somali–American to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives, and the first woman of color to represent Minnesota in that chamber. Omar, also an American Muslim, succeeded Keith Ellison, the first American Muslim to serve in Congress, after he was elected Minnesota Attorney General.<ref name="MNAG announce1">{{Cite tweet|first=Keith|last=Ellison|user=keithellison|author-link=Keith Ellison|title=Today, I am announcing my candidacy to be the People's Lawyer, and to protect and defend all Minnesotans as your next Attorney General.|number=1004055826896687104|date=June 5, 2018|access-date=June 5, 2018|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180605214043/https://twitter.com/keithellison/status/1004055826896687104|archive-date=June 5, 2018}}</ref><ref name="MNAG announce2">{{cite web|first1=Briana|last1=Bierschbach|first2=Brian|last2=Bakst|first3=Tim|last3=Pugmire|url=https://www.mprnews.org/story/2018/06/05/minnesota-filing-deadline-politics|title=Filing deadline drama: Rep.
