Notes

  1. ↑ Before the 2021 redistricting cycle, nearly two-thirds of the territory represented by Noah Arbit was located within Michigan’s 39th House District, held by then-Rep. Ryan Berman (R-Commerce Township), making Arbit’s win a gain from the Republicans. Rep. Matt Koleszar (D-Plymouth) represented the old 20th District, in Wayne County. [17]
