(NewsNation) — Detroit voters will decide Tuesday who will be the next mayor of their city.
City Council President Mary Sheffield and Triumph megachurch pastor Solomon Kinloch Jr., who are both Democrats, are facing off in the general election after placing first and second in the nonpartisan August primary election, The Associated Press reports.
The winner of Detroit’s mayoral race will replace three-term Mayor Mike Duggan, who is leaving office to run for governor of Michigan as an independent candidate. Duggan took the helm at a time of economic instability in Detroit in 2013. Since then, the city has rebounded significantly, but its next mayor will still face numerous challenges, including a shortage of affordable housing and racial economic disparities.
