Michigan State Senate District 26
Saginaw, Genesee, Lapeer, and Tuscola counties, 69 townships, villages, and cities, drawn by Michigan’s Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (the Crane A1 map, adopted in 2024). See my five priorities for District 26.
District 26 covers a wide stretch of mid-Michigan, mostly rural and small-town, with some suburban edges near Flint and Saginaw. It’s currently represented by Republican Sen. Kevin Daley, who is term-limited in 2026. That makes this an open seat. The commission that drew these lines exists because Michigan voters approved it in 2018, and I got to help put it on the ballot as a Voters Not Politicians volunteer.
