Michigan's 19th Senate district is one of 38 districts in the Michigan Senate. The 19th 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 Sean McCann since 2023, succeeding Republican John Bizon.
Geography District 19 encompasses parts of Kalamazoo and Van Buren counties.
