- Connecticut's 5th assembly district
-
The Fifth Assembly District of Connecticut elects one member of the Connecticut House of Representatives. Its current representative is Marie Lopez Kirkley-Bey. The district consists of the northeastern part of the city of Hartford, including the North End and Downtown Hartford. The district is one of few in Connecticut to have a Black majority population. Owing to this fact, it is one of the safest House districts in Connecticut for Democrats; a Republican candidate has not run in the district in five of the past six elections.
