Detroit – Incumbent Janice Winfrey cruised ahead of her competitors in the Tuesday primary race for Detroit city clerk, putting her in position to win a fifth term.
Winfrey led with over 71% of the vote, with 81% of precincts reporting. She s likely to face Denzel McCampbell, a Detroit Charter commissioner, in the November general election.
McCampbell had secured close to 15% of the vote based on results posted early Wednesday. The two top vote-getters will face each other in November. I work hard and apparently the citizens, for the most part, appreciate it, Winfrey said of her Tuesday night lead.
Winfrey, city clerk since 2006, bested now-Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist in a tight race in 2017 but has faced a series of controversies in her term.
Longtime Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey will sail to the November election to decide the city s next chief election officer following a strong performance during Tuesday s primary.
She appears poised to face off against Denzel McCampbell, whose vote total surpassed those for Winfrey s other challengers with results in from just over three-quarters of the city s precincts.
The race follows an unprecedented flood of misinformation about the last presidential election that placed Detroit in the national spotlight.
With //about 81%// of the all precincts reporting results, 70.4% of the votes counted so far went for Winfrey while 15.3% went for McCampbell.
The 68,355 ballots counted marks a turnout of 13.7%. The city s previous municipal primary in 2017 saw 13.9% turnout.

(Photos: Allan Lengel, Violet Ikonomova) 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.
