Michigan's 13th Senate district
American legislative district
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michigan's 13th Senate district is one of 38 districts in the Michigan Senate. The 13th district was created by the 1850 Michigan Constitution, as the 1835 constitution only permitted a maximum of eight senate districts.[2][3] It has been represented by Democrat Rosemary Bayer since 2023, following her victory over Republican Jason Rhines.
