State Senators Bert Johnson, Morris Hood III, Virgil Smith, and Coleman Young II along with state Representatives Thomas Stallworth, Brian Banks, David Nathan, Rose Mary Robinson, and Alberta Tinsley-Talabi announced today that they are endorsing Benny Napoleon for mayor.
“Every day, there is a constant fight to secure resources for Detroit from revenue sharing, income tax collection, demolition and blight removal, and we are fighting off a state takeover of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department,” said Johnson. “These are issues that directly impact Detroiters’ quality of life, and issues that require a mayor who is committed to our neighborhoods.”
Napoleon, who currently serves as Wayne County sheriff and is a former Detroit police chief, finished second in the August mayoral primary behind Mike Duggan.
