Michigan's 36th Senate district is one of 38 districts in the Michigan Senate. The 36th 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 Republican Michele Hoitenga since 2023, succeeding fellow Republican Jim Stamas.

Geography

District 36 encompasses the entirety of Alcona, Alpena, Arenac, Crawford, Iosco, Kalkaska, Missaukee, Montmorency, Ogemaw, Oscoda, Otsego, Presque Isle, Roscommon, and Wexford counties, as well as parts of Bay and Manistee counties.[4]

2011 Apportionment Plan

District 36, as dictated by the 2011 Apportionment Plan, stretched from Midland to the northern end of the Lower Peninsula, where it covered all of Alcona, Alpena, Arenac, Gladwin, Iosco, Midland, Montmorency, Oscoda, Otsego, and Presque Isle Counties. Other communities in the district included Alpena, Gladwin, Standish, Tawas City, East Tawas, Harrisville, Mio, Lewiston, Gaylord, Rogers City, and Alpena Township.[5]

The district overlapped with Michigan's 1st, 4th, and 5th congressional districts, and with the 97th, 98th, 99th, 105th, and 106th districts of the Michigan House of Representatives.[6] Most of the district lied along Lake Huron and Saginaw Bay.[1]
