Located in the heart of northern Metro Detroit, Michigan’s Ninth Senate District is home to vibrant communities that blend historic downtowns, thriving neighborhoods, and some of the region’s most dynamic economic centers. Stretching across Rochester, Rochester Hills, Troy, Utica, western Sterling Heights, and southwest Shelby Township, the district reflects the very best of Oakland and Macomb Counties—welcoming suburbs, innovative businesses, and residents deeply invested in their communities.

Our local economy is powered by a diverse mix of industries. From the global automotive and defense firms that anchor Troy and Sterling Heights, to the entrepreneurs and small businesses that line the streets of downtown Rochester and Utica, the district plays a key role in Michigan’s economic engine. Education is another cornerstone of the community, with exceptional public schools and nearby institutions of higher learning preparing the next generation of leaders, engineers, and innovators.

Just as important are the places where neighbors gather and traditions take root. From the shops and restaurants of downtown Rochester to the parks and trails along the Clinton River and Paint Creek, residents here value both quality of life and a strong sense of community. Whether it’s a family outing to a local festival, a weekend on the trails, or a night out in one of our thriving downtowns, this district is defined by communities that are proud of where they live.

Together, these communities represent the energy, innovation, and civic pride that make southeast Michigan one of the most dynamic places to live, work, and raise a family.
