The 10th district boundaries for the 106th Congress, prior to redistricting in 2002
Michigan's 10th congressional district is a United States congressional district in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, covering a region known as the Thumb. It consists of all of Huron, Lapeer, St. Clair, and Sanilac counties, as well as most of northern Macomb County.
District boundaries were redrawn in 1992 and 2002 due to reapportionment following the censuses of 1990 and 2000.
The current district is fairly conservative. Huron, Lapeer, St. Clair, and Sanilac counties tend to support Republican candidates, as do the northern townships in Macomb . The district is currently represented by Republican Candice Miller, who was first elected in 2002.
