Georgia's 5th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Georgia. The district is currently represented by Democrat John Lewis, though the district's boundaries have been redrawn following the 2010 census, which granted an additional congressional seat to Georgia. The first election using the new district boundaries (listed below) will be the 2012 congressional elections. Based in central Fulton and parts of Dekalb and Clayton counties, the majority African American district includes the state capital and largest city of Atlanta as well as some of the surrounding suburbs, including East Point, Druid Hills, and Forest Park in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
