Michigan's 35th Senate district

Michigan's 35th Senate district is one of 38 districts in the Michigan Senate. The 35th district was created with the adoption of the 1963 Michigan Constitution, as the previous 1908 state constitution only permitted 34 senatorial districts.[2][3] It has been represented by Democrat Kristen McDonald Rivet since 2023, succeeding Republican Curt VanderWall.
