Elected Speaker

Tom Leonard
Republican

An election was held on November 8, 2016 to elect all 110 members to Michigan's House of Representatives. The election coincided with elections for other offices, including U.S. President, U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. The primary election was held on August 2, 2016.

Contents

There was no change in the composition of the House as Republicans retained control, winning 63 seats compared to 47 seats for the Democrats. [2] [3]

Members elected at the 2016 election served in the 99th Michigan Legislature which convened on January 11, 2017.

Background

Over one-third of the House could not seek re-election because of term limits, with the legislators who were elected in the 2010 mid-term elections, that saw the House Republican conference pick up 21 seats, the largest net gain for one party in an election since Michigan's newly constituted term limits went into effect in 1992. [4] [5]

Term-limited members

Under the Michigan Constitution, members of the state Senate are able to serve only two four-year terms, and members of the House of Representatives are limited to three two-year terms. The following members were prevented by term limits from seeking re-election to the House in 2016.
