Michigan's 32nd Senate district is one of 38 districts in the Michigan Senate. The 32nd district was created by the 1850 Michigan Constitution, as the 1835 constitution only permitted a maximum of eight senate districts. It has been represented by Republican Jon Bumstead since 2023, succeeding fellow Republican Kenneth Horn.
Geography District 32 encompasses all of Benzie, Mason, and Oceana counties, as well as parts of Muskegon and Manistee counties.
