DETROIT, MICHIGAN, AUG 5 – Nine candidates vie to replace Mayor Mike Duggan as Detroit voters select two finalists who will compete in November amid expected low turnout of 13-18%, officials said.

- As Duggan forgoes reelection, nine mayoral candidates compete to succeed Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, who is campaigning for Michigan governor next year.
- The candidate field spans nine diverse contenders, including Detroit City Council President Mary Sheffield, former Council President Saunteel Jenkins, Councilman Fred Durhal II, Pastor Solomon Kinloch Jr., ex-police chief James Craig, attorney Todd Perkins, entrepreneur Jonathan Barlow, business owner Joel Haashiim, and retired cosmetologist DaNetta Simpson.
- Despite thousands casting early ballots, officials expect low turnout overall with about 2,000 early voters by Sunday.
