The votes are in and Mary Sheffield will be Detroit's next mayor! She becomes the first woman mayor in the city's history and the first City Council President elected to the office.

Khary Frazier of Detroit is Different and Malachi Barrett of BridgeDetroit breakdown what Detroiters can expect to see during the transition period before she takes office.

"When I was out at the polls talking to folks, they felt that (Sheffield's) experience on the council really mattered. They thought it was really important that she's been leading the City Council and been involved in a lot of the success of the city. She also had a pretty sober look at what's wrong with Detroit. She wasn't out there saying that everything's gravy, everything's fixed. Her message was really focused on continuing what's worked, but make sure it goes deeper into the neighborhoods, bring new investment into the neighborhoods." - Malachi Barrett
