Michigan's 28th Senate district is one of 38 districts in the Michigan Senate. The 28th 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 Democratic Sam Singh since 2023, succeeding Republican Mark Huizenga.
Geography District 28 encompasses parts of Clinton, Ingham, and Shiawassee counties.
