Kentucky's 3rd congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Kentucky. The most regularly drawn of the Commonwealth's six congressional districts, it encompasses almost all of Louisville Metro, which, since the merger of 2003, is contiguous with Jefferson County. The far southeast reaches of Louisville Metro are part of the 4th Congressional District. The district is currently represented by Democrat John Yarmuth. ==Characteristics== This district is heavily Democratic, and is fully contained within Jefferson County, Kentucky. It has the highest percentage of African Americans in the state, who are concentrated in and near Louisville. It is a cosmopolitan, diverse district, with major businesses, health care organizations and universities. As of September 2013, there were 518,028 registered voters: 305,121 (58.90%) Democrats, 166,271 (32.10%) Republicans, and 46,636 (9.00%) "Others".
