JAN 2022 UPDATE: MAPS, some updates, JAN 2022 versions at bottom]
[IMPORTANT NOTE: As I am updating the site to reflect current MICD12 first elected (under the 2010 redistricting) first had its new Representative under the new boundaries in 2013 AND (unless lawsuits may delay) are scheduled to run for the NEW DISTRICTS' BOUNDARIES in Michigan in 2022, they do not officially take effect and those Rep's take Office until Jan 2023!!!]
[Editor update/Personal note: YES - #GOP likely to take #USHouse and #USSenate in #RedWave2022, HOWEVER if #Republicans take #POTUS in #RedWave2024 likely to LOSE #USHOUSE in 2026 due to FAILURE TO STOP #FASCICRATS #GERRYMANDERING NOW creating more #Democrat leaning Districts across #USA and people who may #Vote #GOP in 22/24 go back to sleep/couches and the regular order of BASE #VOTING returns which will give them easier wins in #MidTerms2026.

First look at what SEMi area Districts will look like (from: https://michigan.mydistricting.com/legdistricting/comments/plan/128/23). ALL DISTRICT NUMBERS WILL BE COMPLETELY REWRITTEN as they use (ridiculously) DETROIT as their starting point for everything (why NOT LANSING? after all, it's the Capitol of Michigan) which tells you a lot about the MICRC (Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission) thought process and focus on Minority Majority Districts as their PRINCIPLE "COMMUNITY OF INTEREST" concerns despite such being UNCONSTITUTIONAL violation of EQUAL PROTECTIONS clause. [JLenard - Webmaster]
Some key City shuffles will be...
Dearborn and Taylor, moving out of bulk of current W12 into new MICD02 (with Livonia and Westland areas).
Wyandotte (where I am) down to Flat Rock and Westward into and past Ann Arbor/Ypsi/Saline out to Chelsea area are slated (again, IF MICRC proposed Maps hold) as part of new MICD07.
Allen Park and Lincoln Park are breaking off from 12th and joining DETROIT and up/over to the Grosse-X area/cities (and ERClub) for new MICD01. Brighton Westward to Eaton Rapids area (inc. Howell and Picney of note) part of new MICD05.
Monroe County (down to Ohio Border) will join areas Westward out to Adrian, Clinton, Tecumseh, and more, of note!
MAP WITH ENHANCEMENTS...
[IMPORTANT WED OCT 13 UPDATE...
There are actually FIVE separate proposed USHouse Maps, FOUR are very similar to the Map above (minor variances), the FIFTH (most difference) listed below. The FINAL MAP will likely be one of these TWO with potentially SLIGHT VARIATION(s).] (As you can see below, the DRASTIC DIFFERENCE in the Map below moves Southgate and Wyandotte from proposed 7 (Map above) and Taylor and Romulus from proposed 2 (Map above) into NEW DISTRICT 1 (with Detroit) - again the other FOUR proposed Maps have only minor differences to the MAP ABOVE))

Raise your hand if YOU got a 7% raise this year... No? I was so disappointed after reading Meghan Reckling's post today (see below) If you would like to let the Commission know how you feel about their greedy decision to raise their pay, a written comment can be left at https://www.michigan-mapping.org/#submit "The Constitution sets the salary floor for Redistricting Commissioners at 25% of the Governor’s salary totaling $39,825. One of the first things this Commission did was raise their salary to $55,000. Today, while the Commission faces a $1.2 million budget deficit, what did they do? They voted to give themselves a 7% pay raise. Let’s point out — The Commission’s principal work of drawing the maps is done! They adopted the new maps at the end of December. However, per the Constitution, the Commissioner will now get paid until all legal suits on the maps are settled, which could take years. That’s right. The 13 members of the MICRC will collect a salary of $58,850 each to meet occasionally and then respond to legal notices, as needed, for years to come." How did each of the Commissioners vote?
Commissioner Szetela (I) - Yes
Commissioner Vallette (I) - Yes
