Michigan's 95th State House District is a Michigan legislative district currently located in part of Gladwin County and all of Midland County.[2]

Michigan Voters passed 2018 Michigan Proposal 2 leading to a change in geographic area for the district. After the 2020 U.S. census, the District lines were redrawn from Saginaw to Midland, Michigan by the Citizens’ Nonpartisan Redistricting commission to cover Midland County and a small part of Gladwin county.

Previously, under the 2000 U.S. census, the 95th district was part of Saginaw County, and included the city of Saginaw, Buena Vista Township, Spaulding Township, and Bridgeport Township.[3]

As a result of decennial legislative redistricting, proceeding the findings of the 2010 U.S. census, the district boundaries expanded to include Carrollton Township, James Township, Kochville Township, and the city of Zilwaukee and Zilwaukee Township. The district also retained its previous municipalities.[4]

The 95th state house district is currently represented by State Representative Bill G. Schuette.

Vanessa Guerra of Saginaw was restricted by term limits by the 2020 Michigan House of Representatives election.[5]
