Michigan's 11th congressional district is aUnited States congressional district north ofDetroit, comprising most of urbanized centralOakland County. Until 1993, the district covered the state'sUpper Peninsula and the northernmost portion of theLower Peninsula (a.k.a.Northern Michigan). In redistricting that year, it was shifted to the outer Detroit area. Its former geographical area is now the state'sfirst district. Its current configuration dates from 2023.
The 11th district was represented byThad McCotter from 2003 until his resignation on July 6, 2012.[3][4] He was replaced by DemocratDavid Curson, who won a special election on November 6, 2012.[4][5] Curson was sworn in on November 13. He was replaced byKerry Bentivolio in January 2013, who had been elected in the regular fall election in 2012.[4][6]David Trott was elected in 2014 after defeating Bentivolio in the Republican primary, and took office in January 2015. He did not seek reelection in 2018. DemocratHaley Stevens was elected on November 6, 2018, and is the current representative for the eleventh district.
The 11th congressional district formed in 1993 was given portions of the old 15th (mainly Westland), 2nd (Livonia), 17th (the included portion ofSouthfield), 6th (Highland and White Lake Townships), and 18th congressional districts. Most of its territory came from the old 18th congressional district.
In 2003, the district was essentially split in two. The bulk of the district–most of the Oakland County portion–became the9th district, while a new 11th was created mostly out of the Wayne County portion of the old 11th, combined with a sliver of Oakland.
In 2023, the district was consolidated to include only the urbanized south-central section of Oakland County. The area that the 11th now covers has historically been strongly Republican. In the 1990s it became a swing district, with a slight Republican lean. Since the 2010s, the district is now considered to lean Democratic.
For the118th and successive Congresses (based on redistricting following the2020 census), the district contains all or portions of the following counties and municipalities:[7]
