  • The 5th Congressional District of Illinois was created as part of the 28th United States Congress, which first met on March 4, 1843; it was initially represented by Stephen A. Douglas, whose Kansas-Nebraska Act prompted the creation of the Republican Party. As of the most recent redistricting it includes part of Cook County, and was represented by Democrat Rahm Emanuel from January 2003 until he resigned on January 2, 2009, to become White House Chief of Staff. On April 8, 2009, Mike Quigley won a special election to fill the seat. The congressional district currently spans much of the North Side of City of Chicago from Lake Michigan into the western suburbs. It includes Schiller Park, Franklin Park, River Grove, Elmwood Park, Northlake and Melrose Park. Wrigley Field and Chicago's gay district of Boystown are both located in this district, along with the Chicago neighborhoods of Lakeview, Uptown and Lincoln Park. George W. Bush received 33% of the vote in this district in 2004. The district has a Cook Partisan Voting Index score of D +18. Despite its recent historical preference for Democrats the district was represented by a Republican for two years after Dan Rostenkowski lost his seat because of the Congressional Post Office scandal. On a national level the scandal helped prompt the Republican Revolution of 1994.

Pierwsze wybory w okręgu przeprowadzono jesienią 1842 roku. Przedstawicielem okręgu w 110. Kongresie Stanów Zjednoczonych jest demokrata, Rahm Emanuel.
