The only representative for the 3rd district since its creation has been Katsuya Okada who had represented the pre-reform Mie 1st district that had elected five representatives by single non-transferable vote and covered roughly the present single-member districts Mie 1, 2 and 3. Okada was the president of the DPJ from 2004 to 2005.
