Detroit mayoral race heats up as voters focus on transit, safety, housing

Detroit's mayoral race between Mary Sheffield and Solomon Kinloch is intensifying as voters prepare to decide amidst controversies surrounding both candidates. Key issues for Detroit residents include support for commercial districts, unreliable public transportation, affordable housing, and public safety. The organization Lift Every Voice & Vote Detroit is encouraging voter participation due to historically low turnout. Polls for the election are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, and voters can still register on election day at their local clerk's office.
