MICRC offers Senate map for public comment

LANSING, MI (MPRN)— The Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission advanced a state Senate map for another public comment period Monday.

The plan would give Democrats a projected 20-18 seat advantage over Republicans.

It would also split up Ann Arbor into two state Senate districts—in line with some public comments that requested that.

Meanwhile, the map leaves Detroit split into districts shared with its suburbs—something critics have taken issue with.

Following 45 days of public comment, the commission will be able to vote on whether to publish the map.

The commission also voted to advance multiple congressional maps.
