American legislative district From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michigan's 27th Senate district is one of 38 districts in the Michigan Senate. The 27th 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 John Cherry III since 2023, succeeding fellow Democrat Jim Ananich.
