Michigan's congressional districts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michigan's congressional districts since 2013[1]

Michigan is divided into 14 congressional districts, each represented by a member of the United States House of Representatives.[2]

Michigan's congressional districts from 2023

The districts are currently represented in the 117th United States Congress by 7 Democrats and 7 Republicans.

Due to considerable demographic and population change in Michigan over the years, an individual numbered district today does not necessarily cover the same geographic area as the same numbered district before reapportionment. For example, Pete Hoekstra and Bill Huizenga have represented the 2nd district since 1993, but are considered the "successors" of Guy Vander Jagt, since the current 2nd covers most of the territory represented by Vander Jagt in the 9th district before 1993.

Starting in the 2022 mid-term elections, per the 2020 United States census, Michigan will lose a congressional seat.[3]

Notes[]

  1. ^ "Time in office" reflects each member's time since becoming a member, not the member's time since becoming a member for the current district. Redistricting commonly results in a district being moved elsewhere in the state and its representative beginning to represent a different district in the same location.
