U.S. House

Michigan 7th Congressional District — 2026

Michigan’s 7th District elects a U.S. representative on November 3, 2026. Republican incumbent Tom Barrett faces Democrat William Lawrence. Ballotpedia also lists a Green Party candidate.

What this office is

Each U.S. House district elects one representative for a two-year term. Your district is assigned by official maps and your registered address — not by opening a page on this site. The House originates revenue bills, shares lawmaking with the Senate, and can impeach federal officers. All 435 voting seats are on the ballot in 2026.

Why it matters in 2026

Ballotpedia included MI-07 on its 2026 House battlegrounds list. The district covers part of mid-Michigan; your clerk’s sample ballot is the authority for district assignment.

Lawrence won the August 4, 2026 Democratic primary. Confirm the November slate with the Michigan Secretary of State.
