Detroit mayor election: Nine candidates file to run for city's top seat
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Detroit's mayoral race is still months away, but the list of candidates in the nonpartisan election won't be growing any longer after Tuesday.
That's because the deadline to return a petition signaling an intention to run was at 4 p.m. With that time now gone, the picture of who could be Detroit's newest mayor in more than a decade is starting to become more clear.
Big picture view:
From current and former city council members to a former police chief, an attorney, and a local faith leader, the race for mayor of Detroit will be one of the most competitive in years.
With outgoing Mayor Mike Duggan leaving office after his third term is up, the nonpartisan race will be hotly contested among several well-known officials within the city.
