Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan has endorsed City Council President Mary Sheffield for mayor.
Duggan made the announcement alongside Sheffield Wednesday morning.
“For 12 years Mary Sheffield has been a major force in Detroit’s recovery,” Duggan said. “She used her leadership on Council to make sure every voice was heard and to make sure each program included all Detroiters. She is clearly the most qualified candidate to be the next Mayor of Detroit.”
Duggan also spoke about the progress of City Council under Sheffield’s leadership.
“Thousands of housing units, so where there’s room for everybody in this city. That’s the kind of leadership that we’ve had,” Duggan said. “And, of course, you remember what city council meetings were like 12 years ago… in the last four years, you have seen professionally run council meetings by a city council president that made this city proud.”
