Michigan's 12th congressional district is a United States Congressional District that stretches from Detroit's western suburbs to Ann Arbor.[2]
From 2003 to 2013 it was located in Detroit's inner suburbs to the north, along the Interstate 696 corridor in Macomb and Oakland counties, as well as a portion of Macomb north of the corridor. District boundaries were redrawn in 1993, and 2003 due to reapportionment following the censuses of 1990 and 2000.[3]
It is currently represented by Democrat Debbie Dingell.[2]
