After four hours of live streaming, we recorded a reaction episode to Mary Sheffield's commanding primary election performance, garnering the top stop.

Second place was Solomon Kinloch. We also get into some city council races and overall vibe shifts in the city.

Plus, if we were to make a cocktail for Mary Sheffield, what would it look like? Engineer of alcohol and audio Randy Walker has a suggetion.

(We don't have a runner-up version as the results weren't 100% set when we recorded this, we'll circle back on that)

Today’s show features a conversation with U.S. Representative and Democratic primary candidate for U.S. Senat Haley Stevens. Representing the 11th District since 2019, her district includes Ferndale, Royal Oak, Birmingham, Farmington Hills, Pontiac, Wixom, White Lake, Troy, Auburn Hills, and more.

Oakland County is one of the most powerful and economically important areas of the state and country. Plus, many of you, our listeners, live there.

We touched on a ton of topics from the auto industry to international issues to the size of coney menus. My goal was to get a sense of what her thoughts were, over my own.

After all, she’s in the seat - and running for a higher one in a contested primary.

Jer's back from Chicago and has big thoughts on some false arguments we're making back home in Detroit on transit... to making sure we're investing in projects for the people to the importance of even some density (duplex and triplexes, not giant apartment buildings).

After all, if the government is going to give cash... shouldn't we be investing in infrastructure that benefits us all than direct to a multi-national's pocket book? 

Plus, Sweetgreen is coming to Detroit and Apple is investing in a new academy.

Don't forget our big birthday bash is Saturday, August 9! Be sure to sign up https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1530285227309?aff=oddtdtcreator
