Michigan's 8th congressional district is a United States congressional district in Central Michigan. The district was first created in 1873, after redistricting following the 1870 census. From 2003 to 2013, it consisted of all of Clinton, Ingham, and Livingston counties, and included the southern portion of Shiawassee and the northern portion of Oakland counties. After the redistricting that resulted from the 2010 Census, the district was shifted south to no longer cover Clinton or Shiawassee counties and instead covers more of Oakland County, including Rochester. In 2022, the district was redrawn to be centered on the city of Flint, and includes all of Saginaw and Bay counties, as most of Genesee, and portions of Midland and Tuscola. The district's current representative is Democrat incumbent Dan Kildee, who defeated Republican Paul Junge in November 2022, and previously represented the old 5th district. It was one of seven districts that voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election while being held by a Democrat. After the 2022 redistricting, by Cook Partisan Voting index, this is the median district in the country with 217 districts rated more Democrat and 217 districts rated more Republican.
