Duggan wins Detroit mayoral primary; Adams to be fall opponent
Duggan had 72.5% of the vote with 100% of precincts reporting followed by Adams
at 10%. Perennial candidate Tom Barrow was third with 6% and second-time candidate Myya Jones was fourth with 5%.
Duggan s chief of staff Alexis Wiley called the more than 60 percentage point gap a historic margin of victory. The turnout was listed Tuesday night as 11%, below the 14% rate in the August 2017 primary.
Duggan held a Tuesday night party on the patio of Good Vibes on the city’s east side. The 63-year-old incumbent posed for photos with supporters and chatted beside a bonfire with his fiancé Sonia Hassan and Deputy Mayor Conrad Mallet Jr. He was greeted by a round of applause by nearly 130 people.

Morgan Community Association – featured six candidates for all or part of it –
Colleen Echohawk, Andrew Grant Houston, Arthur Langlie, Lance Randall for the entirety of the forum,
Bruce Harrell departing early,
