James Allan Barcia (born February 25,1952) is an American Democratic politician from Michigan.

[2] [3] He has served as County Executive of Bay County,Michigan,since January,2017.
Barcia was born in Bay City,Michigan,and graduated from Bay City Central High School. He received a B.A. from Saginaw Valley State University in 1974. He was staff assistant to United States Senator Philip A. Hart of Michigan in 1971. Barcia also was a community service coordinator for the Michigan Blood Center,between 1974 and 1975,and he was an administrative assistant to Michigan state representative Donald J. Albosta,from 1975 to 1976.
Barcia was a member of the Michigan State House of Representatives,from 1977 to 1983. He left the House after being elected to the Michigan Senate,where he served until he resigned in 1993 to enter the United States House of Representatives.
Barcia was elected as a Democrat from Michigan's 5th congressional district to the 103rd Congress and to the four succeeding Congresses,serving from January 3,1993,to January 3,2003. Like many Michigan Democrats outside of Ann Arbor,Detroit,and Flint,Barcia was more conservatve than most Democrats,opposing abortion and gun control,and had a lifetime rating of 54 from the American Conservative Union—the highest of any Democrat from Michigan at the time.
After the United States 2000 Census,Barcia's district was dismantled by the Republican-controlled state legislature. Most of his district's territory was shifted to the 10th District,but his home in Bay City was merged with the neighboring 9th District of fellow Democrat Dale Kildee. The new district retained Barcia's district number (the 5th),but was geographically more Kildee's district. Under the circumstances,Barcia opted to run for his old seat in the State Senate and won.
On October 10,2002,Jim Barcia was among the 81 House Democrats who voted in favor of authorizing the invasion of Iraq.
With Kildee announcing his retirement July 2011,Barcia considered running for his congressional seat in 2012. [4]
In 2016,Barcia won a heated election to the position of Bay County Executive,after winning the Democratic primary against long-time incumbent Thomas L. Hickner in August. During the campaign,Barcia was accused of hiding campaign funds [5] and using a misleading TV ad. [6] [7]

However,after the 2020 census,Michigan lost one congressional seat. Democrats won a majority of seats in the state for the first time since 2008. This can be partly attributed to the decrease in the number of districts,which resulted in two Republican incumbents –Bill Huizenga and Fred Upton –in the new 4th district. Redistricting also played a part in shifting partisan lean of the districts which favored the Democrats overall,including in the 3rd district,which Democrats were able to flip with a margin of victory of 13 points. That was made possible by a non-partisan citizens' commission drawing the new political boundaries instead of the Michigan legislature after a 2018 ballot proposal was approved.
