Some of the candidates in Detroit's highly competitive City Council race.
Nearly half of Detroit City Council's members are not running for reelection, including President Brenda Jones, André Spivey, Raquel Castañeda-López, and Gabe Leland, who resigned after pleading guilty of accepting a cash bribe, creating a competitive race with more than 40 candidates. Candidates who did not respond to
Metro Times' questionnaire include at-large candidate Nicole Small; District 1 incumbent James Tate and Darryl Brown, District 4's Latisha Johnson, Daivon Reeder, and Virgil Smith; and District 7's William Davis, Regina Ross, and JoAnna Underwood. Here are the ones who took the time to tell us — all of us — what they hope to accomplish on the City Council.
