Michigan's 14th Senate district

Michigan's 14th Senate district is one of 38 districts in the Michigan Senate. The 14th 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 Democratic Sue Shink since 2023, succeeding Republican Ruth Johnson.[4][5]
