Michigan's 12th Senate district is one of 38 districts in the Michigan Senate. The 12th 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 Kevin Hertel since 2023, succeeding fellow Democrat Rosemary Bayer.[4][5]
