# Michigan's 10th Senate district

Michigan's 10th Senate district is one of 38 districts in the Michigan Senate. The 10th district was created by the 1850 Michigan Constitution, as the 1835 constitution only permitted a maximum of eight senate districts. It has been represented by Democrat Paul Wojno since 2023, succeeding Republican Michael D. MacDonald.

## Geography

District 10 encompasses parts of Macomb and Wayne counties.

### 2011 Apportionment Plan
