Detroit — As Detroit voters prepared to shift their attention to November's general election, they said mayoral hopefuls Mary Sheffield and the Rev. Solomon Kinloch Jr. should focus their plans on spreading the city's momentum to neglected neighborhoods, fighting crime and increasing affordable housing.

Voters will decide in November which of the two will succeed popular three-term Mayor Mike Duggan, who is running as an independent for Michigan’s open governor’s seat in 2026.
