The Detroit Elections Commission will meet this afternoon to decide whether Detroit mayoral candidate Mike Duggan should be removed from the primary ballot for violating the city’s charter for running for office.
State Rep. Lisa Howze also alleges mayoral candidate Tom Barrow should be removed from the ballot for similar violations.
Mayoral candidate Mike Duggan, who assembled a strong campaign team, committed a foolish error that could force him off the ballot.
Detroit mayoral candidate Tom Barrow claims three of his opponents committed campaign violations that are egregious enough to dismiss their candidacy.
Mayor Dave Bing, whose popularity has steadily declined since taking office in 2009, won’t run for re-election after all, but he has his eyes on something else.
Bing appeared to struggle when asked about his political plans during a press conference about the city’s finances today.
In a city as broke as Detroit, it’s not often that Mayor Dave Bing has good news to report.
Dozens of reporters received a cryptic e-mail from Mayor Dave Bing’s office at noon Thursday. When reporters arrived, Mayor Bing was pulling petitions to seek his second full term in office.
In just six months, Detroiters will select the top two mayoral candidates during the nonpartisan primary.
Political observers brushed Lisa Howze off as a second-tier contender. Not anymore.
