Michigan's 38th Senate district
American legislative district
Michigan's 38th Senate district is one of 38 districts in the Michigan Senate. The 38th district was created with the adoption of the 1963 Michigan Constitution, as the previous 1908 state constitution only permitted 34 senatorial districts.[2][3] It has been represented by Republican Ed McBroom since 2019, succeeding fellow Republican Tom Casperson.[4]

Communities in the district included Baraga, Escanaba, Gladstone, Hancock, Houghton, Iron Mountain, Iron River, Ironwood, Ishpeming, Kingsford, Manistique, Marquette, Menominee, Munising, Negaunee, Norway, and Ontonagon.[6]

At nearly 13,000 square miles (34,000 km2), it was the largest Senate district in the state.[1]
