The next mayor of Detroit is not just tasked with managing the city, they also manage relationships with business and policy leaders from across the state.
Detroit’s mayor regularly attends the Mackinac Policy Conference to help build those relationships. But this election season, the candidates vying for that seat are here making their case for why they should be elected the next leader of Michigan's largest city.
Saunteel Jenkins is one of those candidates. The former Detroit City Council president most recently served as the CEO of The Heat and Warmth Fund – otherwise known as THAW. She joined The Metro to talk about how her past experience has prepared her for the role, and what her priorities would be as the city's next mayor.
"I had to build coalitions with legislators in Lansing and in D.C., and work on both sides of the aisle to bring resources home for our families," she said. "There are a lot of things that I did as the CEO over the last decade that correlates with the job of the mayor."
