Michigan's 30th Senate district is one of 38 districts in the Michigan Senate. The 30th 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 Mark Huizenga since 2023, succeeding fellow Republican Roger Victory.
By most measures, the 2012-2022 version of the district was the most Republican-leaning district in the Senate. However, redistricting in 2022 reconfigured the district to take in much of the northern half of the city of Grand Rapids, making it a more competitive seat. Incumbent Republican state senator Mark Huizenga, who had won a special election for the previous 28th district, was narrowly re-elected over Democratic state representative David LaGrand, the closest race of the entire 2022 state Senate elections.
