Michigan's 34th Senate district is one of 38 districts in the Michigan Senate. The 34th district was created in 1953 due to the adoption of a state constitutional amendment via ballot initiative in November 1952. The 1908 state constitution initially only allowed for 32 senate districts. It has been represented by Republican Jon Bumstead since 2019, succeeding fellow Republican Goeff Hansen.
Geography District 34 encompasses all of Clare, Gladwin, Gratiot, Isabella, Mecosta, and Osceola counties, as well as parts of Bay, Clinton, Lake, Midland, and Saginaw counties.
