The 2016 Michigan House of Representatives elections was held on November 8, 2016, with partisan primaries to select the parties' nominees in the various districts on August 2, 2016. Members elected at the 2016 election serve in the 99th Michigan Legislature which convened on January 11, 2017.
Under the Michigan Constitution, members of the state Senate are able to serve only two four-years terms, and members of the House of Representatives are limited to three two-years terms. The following members were prevented by term-limits from seeking re-election to the House in 2016.
Alberta Tinsley-Talabi is serving a third term in the House of Representatives - District 2, which includes the cities of Grosse Pointe, Grosse Pointe Farms, Grosse Pointe Park and a portion of Detroit. She was a member of the Detroit City Council from 1993 to 2009 and served as a Wayne County Commissioner from 1987 to 1990.
Harvey Santana is a Democratic politician from Michigan who served in the Michigan House of Representatives from 2011 to 2016.
Paul Clemente is an American politician who served in the Michigan House of Representatives from 2011 to 2016. He represented the 14th district which includes Lincoln Park, Riverview, Melvindale and Wyandotte in the Downriver section of Wayne County.
Kurt Heise is a Republican politician from Michigan currently serving in the Michigan House of Representatives.
Patrick Somerville is a member of the Michigan House of Representatives, representing part of the Down River area of Wayne County. His district includes Grosse Isle, Brownstown Township, Gibraltar, Trenton, Woodhaven and Huron Township.
Anthony G. Forlini was a member of the Michigan House of Representatives for the 24th district from 2011 through 2016. The district covers Harrison Township as well as portions of Clinton Township and Macomb Township. Forlini was raised in St. Clair Shores and has lived in Harrison Township since about 1987. In March 2016, Forlini announced that he was running for Congress in Michigan's 10th District, as Candice Miller, the then current Representative, was not running for another term.
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.
