State Rep. and City Council Candidate Tyrone Carter speaks with Bryce Huffman of BridgeDetroit about how hi experience in the state legislature will be helpful for Detroit, and District 6 specifically, if he is elected next month.

"We're going to have a new mayor for the first time in 12 years, and at least two new city council people. So there's going to be a transition, and we have to look at it. I can take a step back and look at it from the state level, all the monies that we've sent to the city, all the federal monies that have been sent to the city to do projects it's pretty much gone, and also the relationship. So I think that the new mayor will have an opportunity to focus on more community issues, neighborhoods that have been, you know, saying, hey, the two Detroit thing, but if there's no downtown, there's no Detroit. Let's be clear about that. If your heart's not strong, the rest of the body is going to wither away. So downtown is a strong heart now. So I think this gives the opportunity to, you know, do pilot programs in different neighborhoods to see what and meet with the district reps to say, Okay, what do your neighborhoods want? And where can we start this project?" - Tyrone Carter
