District 5
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,[16] citing the state legislature's move to split Davidson County into three congressional districts.[17] 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.[18]
