Michigan's congressional districts

Michigan's congressional districts since January 3, 2023.

Michigan is divided into 13 congressional districts, each represented by a member of the United States House of Representatives. [1]

Contents

The districts are currently represented in the 118th United States Congress by 7 Democrats and 6 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.

Michigan lost a congressional seat after the 2022 midterm elections based on information from the 2020 United States census. [2]
