In an announcement on Facebook Live, Adams listed off the local businesses he frequents — from shoe shiners to jazz clubs — and his record in public office, which includes serving as the Executive Assistant to Former Mayor Coleman Young and as President of the Detroit Public School Board. "We have a shared experience,” he said in an appeal to fellow city residents. “I understand your plight. I've been in the struggle with you. I know how public policy can negatively impact the lives of Detroiters."
