Notes

^[1]

Michigan's 11th Senate district is one of 38 districts in the Michigan Senate. The 11th 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 Veronica Klinefelt since 2023, succeeding fellow Democrat Jeremy Moss.^[4]^[5]

Geography

District 11 encompasses parts of Macomb and Wayne counties.^[6]

2011 Apportionment Plan

The district was largely located within Michigan's 14th congressional district, also extending into the 9th and 11th districts. It overlapped with the 26th, 27th, 35th, and 37th districts of the Michigan House of Representatives.^[8]
