Both Mayoral Candidates Claim "Grassroots" Title, But What's the Truth? - Detroit Next Episode 14


Listen Later

BridgeDetroit's Malachi Barrett and Detroit is Different's Khary Frazier talk about both City Council President Mary Sheffield and Reverend Solomon Kinloch, as both have tried to claim being grassroots candidates throughout this campaign.

"The leader of Triumph Church has positioned himself as a grassroots working class champion. They know there's some ground to make up, but it seems like they're trying to occupy more of an outsider Lane in this race. Mary Sheffield is also positioning herself as people's champion, as a grassroots progressive candidate who has a anti poverty agenda, and they both have now scheduled town halls throughout the city through September and early October, so we're going to get to hear more from them." Malachi Barrett

Maria Ibarra Fraye of We the People Michigan also joins Detroit Next to talk about co-governance and where Detroit is at politically in this moment.
