== History of 3rd congressional district ==
== History ==
Prior to 1992 the 3rd congressional district largely consisted of [[Calhoun County, Michigan|Calhoun County]] the home of [[Battle Creek, Michigan|Battle Creek]] and [[Eaton County, Michigan|Eaton County]] along with about half the area of Lansing, and Kalamazoo County, including the city of Kalamazoo, but not [[Portage, Michigan|Portage]] and the adjacent south-ward township. With the 1992 redistricting the old 3rd district was split between the 6th congressional district, and the 7th congressional district with most of Lansing itself going to the 8th congressional district.
Prior to 1993, the 3rd congressional district largely consisted of [[Calhoun County, Michigan|Calhoun]] and [[Eaton County, Michigan|Eaton]] counties, about half of [[Lansing, Michigan|Lansing]] and surrounding [[Ingham County, Michigan|Ingham County]], and most of [[Kalamazoo County, Michigan|Kalamazoo County]] (including the city of [[Kalamazoo, Michigan|Kalamazoo]], but not [[Portage, Michigan|Portage]] and the adjacent south-ward township). With the redistricting, the old 3rd district was split between the 6th and 7th congressional districts, with most of Lansing itself going to the 8th congressional district. Meanwhile, the new 3rd district became the Grand Rapids district, covering much of the territory which had previously constituted the 5th district from 1873 to 1993.

No Democrat had represented Grand Rapids in Congress since [[Richard Vander Veen]] from 1974 to 1977, prior to redistricting due to the 1990 census, which took effect in 1993 and [[Michigan's congressional districts|moved Grand Rapids from the 5th to the 3rd congressional district]]. However, following the 2020 census, the 3rd district was redrawn once again,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.michigan.gov/micrc/mapping-process/final-maps | title=Final Maps }}</ref> and in the [[2022 United States elections|2022 midterm elections]] Democratic candidate [[Hillary Scholten]] was chosen to represent the district.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.woodtv.com/news/elections/democrat-hillary-scholten-wins-3rd-congressional-district/ | title='I am so ready': Democrat Hillary Scholten wins 3rd Congressional District | date=November 9, 2022 }}</ref>

Michigan's 3rd congressional district is a U.S. congressional district in West Michigan. From 2003 to 2013, it consisted of the counties of Barry and Ionia, as well as all except the northwestern portion of Kent, including the city of Grand Rapids. In 2012 redistricting, the district was extended to Battle Creek. In 2022, the district was condensed to the greater Grand Rapids and Muskegon areas, including portions of Kent, Muskegon, and Ottawa counties. Redistricting removed Barry, Calhoun, and Ionia counties.[5]

The district is currently represented by Hillary Scholten, a member of the Democratic Party.

History

[edit]

Prior to 1993, the 3rd congressional district largely consisted of Calhoun and Eaton counties, about half of Lansing and surrounding Ingham County, and most of Kalamazoo County (including the city of Kalamazoo, but not Portage and the adjacent south-ward township). With the redistricting, the old 3rd district was split between the 6th and 7th congressional districts, with most of Lansing itself going to the 8th congressional district. Meanwhile, the new 3rd district became the Grand Rapids district, covering much of the territory which had previously constituted the 5th district from 1873 to 1993.

No Democrat had represented Grand Rapids in Congress since Richard Vander Veen from 1974 to 1977, prior to redistricting due to the 1990 census, which took effect in 1993 and moved Grand Rapids from the 5th to the 3rd congressional district. However, following the 2020 census, the 3rd district was redrawn once again,[8] and in the 2022 midterm elections Democratic candidate Hillary Scholten was chosen to represent the district.[9]
