I don't have access to real-time information, so I can't tell you who currently holds the NJ-05 seat, as this can change with elections.

For historical context, Josh Gottheimer (Democrat) has represented New Jersey's 5th congressional district since 2017, but I'd recommend verifying whether this is still current.

To find your definitive answer, you can:

1. **Visit the House of Representatives website** — Go to [house.gov](https://www.house.gov) and use the "Find Your Representative" tool by entering your ZIP code.

2. **Check [govtrack.us](https://www.govtrack.us)** — Search for NJ-05 for current member information.

3. **Visit your state's election website** — New Jersey's Division of Elections may have district information.

A note on the "your" part of your question: congressional districts are determined by your specific address, so if you want to be certain NJ-05 is *your* district, the "Find Your Representative" tool at house.gov is the most reliable way to confirm both your district and your representative at the same time.
