Michigan's 9th Senate district is one of 38 districts in the Michigan Senate. The 9th 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 Republican Michael Webber since 2023, succeeding Democrat Paul Wojno.[4][5]

Geography

District 9 encompasses parts of Macomb and Oakland counties.[6]
