Summary of Support for Detroit Mayoral Candidate

Dear Friends,

I hope this message finds you all well, and I apologize in advance for my forthcoming political solicitation. I try most often to be politically neutral, but I felt like I should encourage you all into research what you could do to help Detroit become a vibrant city for generations to come. If you, like me, are sick of Detroit being the laughing stock of our nation; and no longer want to have Detroit be the poster child of a post industrial wasteland. Please vote / support Mike Duggan.

We finally have somebody running who is a turnaround expert; somebody who was born and raised in Detroit. Somebody who has successfully ran businesses at high levels, and will have the connections to gain investment in Detroit. Mayor Bing is a great man for trying, but at his age he might not be the best candidate.  Short of miraculously getting Mayor Archer back in the picture, Mr. Duggan is our best shot at success.

If Detroit is healthy, it will be a good thing for the people of the city, the people of Metro Detroit, and the state of Michigan. If our backyard is flourishing, we can retain talent, invest in the area, develop business, and prevent our children from moving away because Detroit is "depressing".

Please investigate, and if comfortable, donate here:
