ALL ABOUT 12TH DISTRICT DEMOCRATS MICHIGAN
Following the 2020 census, the State of Michigan experienced a loss of one congressional district. This led to the creation of the newly established 12th Congressional District Democrats, which encompasses half of Detroit and includes the cities of Southfield, Lathrup Village, Beverly Hills, Bingham Farms, Livonia, Redford, Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, Garden City, Inkster, and Westland in its entirety.
