After the 2020 U.S. census, the District lines were redrawn from Saginaw to Midland, Michigan by the Citizens’ Nonpartisan Redistricting commission to cover Midland County and a small part of Gladwin county.

Previously, under the 2000 U.S. census, the 95th district was part of Saginaw County, and included the city of Saginaw, Buena Vista Township, Spaulding Township, and Bridgeport Township.^[3]

The district also retained its previous municipalities.^[4]
