Michigan's 29th Senate district is one of 38 districts in the Michigan Senate. The 29th 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 Winnie Brinks since 2019, succeeding Republican Dave Hildenbrand.
Geography District 29 encompasses part of Kent County.
