Who is my U.S. representative in PA-05?

Captured 2026-07-10 21:34:04 UTC Model claude-opus-4-8
I don't have a reliable way to know who currently represents Pennsylvania's 5th Congressional District, for a couple of reasons:

1. **My knowledge has a cutoff date**, and representatives can change due to elections, resignations, or special elections.
2. **I don't have real-time access** to look up current officeholders.

To get accurate, up-to-date information, I'd recommend:

- **House.gov** — Use the "Find Your Representative" tool at [house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative](https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative)
- **Your state's election website** or the PA Department of State
- A quick search for "PA-05 representative" on a search engine

For context, PA-05 covers parts of the Philadelphia area (including Delaware County and parts of Philadelphia and Montgomery counties), based on the district boundaries drawn after the 2020 census.

Would you like help understanding how to use any of these tools?
