Nearly two-thirds of the district's voting population lives in the state capital, Nashville, a Democratic stronghold. While some pockets of Republican influence exist in Cheatham and Wilson counties, those counties are always swamped at the ballot box by Nashville. As a result, the 5th is a very safe seat for the Democrats. A Republican hasn't represented the 5th District since 1875. While Republicans made several strong bids for the district in the late 1960s and early 1970s, they have only put up token candidates since 1972.
