The 2026 Michigan Senate election will take place on November 3, 2026, to elect all 38 members to the Michigan Senate. The election will coincide with elections for all of Michigan's constitutional offices; governor, attorney general, secretary of state and all 110 seats in the Michigan House of Representatives. Seats in the Michigan Senate were last elected in 2022.

Background

Under the Michigan Constitution, state representatives and senators are limited to twelve years combined in either chamber of the legislature, after voters approved on November 8, 2022, a constitutional amendment that revised term limits.[1] Michigan has what are considered the toughest term limits in the country.[2]

In the previous election, Democrats gained four seats, winning control of the chamber for the first time since 1984.[3]

In 2023, several districts in the metro Detroit area were struck down as unconstitutional and the redistricting panel was ordered to draw new maps that could be used. A final map was chosen in July 2024 and new district lines will be in effect for the 2026 elections.[4][a]

Special election

District 35

Following the resignation of Kristen McDonald Rivet, who resigned to take a seat in the United States House of Representatives, a special election will take place to fill the vacancy. Primary elections took place on February 3, 2026, and the general election will take place on May 5, 2026.[11] Democratic governor Gretchen Whitmer was criticized for the long delay between Rivet's resignation and the calling of the special election, which has left the seat vacant for over a year.[12] This election is considered important because if Republicans win the general election, then the Michigan Senate would become tied.[13]

Six Democrats ran in their primary, with Pamela Pugh and Chedrick Greene considered to be the frontrunners. Pugh, the president of the Michigan Board of Education, was considered to be the more progressive candidate and had the backing of U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib and multiple state legislators.[14] Greene, a Saginaw fire captain, had the backing of numerous labor unions and Kristen McDonald Rivet, the district's most recent senator.[15] Greene went on to win the primary by 33%. Four Republicans ran for their nomination, with attorney Jason Tunney and businessman Christian Velasquez emerging as the frontrunners. Tunney went on to win the primary by 9%.[13]
