In a somewhat predictable municipal primary with just 14-percent turnout, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan scored an easy victory, with Anthony Adams, the former deputy mayor under Kwame Kilpatrick, coming in second. Tom Barrow, who ran for mayor for the fifth time, came in third, solidifying his title as a perrenial loser.
Adams and Duggan will square off in November, in what will be an uphill battle for the former deputy mayor, who pulled in just 10 percent of the vote to Duggan's 73 percent.
