Michigan's 22nd Senate district is one of 38 districts in the Michigan Senate. The 22nd 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 Republican Lana Theis since 2019, succeeding fellow Republican Joe Hune.[4]
