The [[county commission|county board of commissioners]] controls the budget and has limited authority to make laws or ordinances. In Michigan, most local government functions—police and fire, building and zoning, tax assessment, street maintenance, etc.—are the responsibility of individual cities and townships. [[Adrian College]] and [[Siena Heights University]] are located within the county. Voters in Lenawee County have supported candidates from both political parties in statewide elections, making it a swing county. Tecumseh and Adrian have tended to lean Democrat, while Dover, Madison, and Riga townships have tended to lean Republican. Lenawee County is located in [[Michigan's 5th congressional district]], which is represented by [[Tim Walberg]], a resident of the county. Walberg previously served as Lenawee's state representative. The district includes all of Lenawee, [[Jackson County, Michigan|Jackson]], [[Hillsdale County|Hillsdale]], [[Branch County|Branch]], and [[Eaton County|Eaton]] counties, as well as parts of [[Calhoun County, Michigan|Calhoun]] and [[Washtenaw County, Michigan|Washtenaw]] counties. He defeated incumbent Democrat [[Mark Schauer]]. Schauer had defeated Walberg in the [[United States elections, 2008|2008 congressional election]], after Walberg's first stint in Congress. Most of Lenawee County is represented in the [[Michigan House of Representatives]] by [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] [[Nancy Jenkins|Nancy Jenkins-Arno]] who represents the [[Michigan's 34th House of Representatives district|34th District]], she also served as the representative of the [[Michigan's 57th House of Representatives district|57th District]].

Lenawee is also part of the [[Michigan's 30th House of Representatives district|30th]], [[Michigan's 31st House of Representatives district|31st]], and [[Michigan's 35th House of Representatives district|35th]] districts of the Michigan House of Representatives and is represented by [[William Bruck]], [[Reggie Miller (politician)|Reggie Miller]], and [[Jennifer Wortz]] respectively.
