On Aug. 5, voters will narrow the field of Detroit mayoral candidates down to just two, who will go head-to-head in the November election.

As we draw closer to the August primary, local organizations, unions and media outlets have endorsed the candidates they believe are best for the city of Detroit.

Last week, The Detroit News’ editorial board announced its endorsement of Detroit mayoral candidate Saunteel Jenkins, touting her maturity and experience. 

Nolan Finley, editorial page editor for The Detroit News, joined The Metro on Monday to talk about the endorsement and to share his thoughts on the competitive race.

Listen to The Metro weekdays from 10 a.m. to noon ET on 101.9 FM and streaming on-demand.
