The Michigan redistricting process, which could have a direct effect on who represents Monroe County voters, has begun with a series of public hearings scheduled to begin next week.
Although none of the planned meetings are being held in Monroe or Lenawee counties, the eventual decisions may affect who represents those citizens in Washington, D.C., and Lansing.
It’s possible that when the process is complete, Monroe County could fall into U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell’s 12th Congressional District. For decades, Monroe had been represented by her late husband, John Dingell, before being shifted into Rep. Tim Walberg’s district.
