Tell me..

who should be elected to City Council? At this point, I know who I will vote for in the mayor and city clerk race but the city council race is still wide open. I am not sold on or against anyone.

Candidate: (* incumbent)

Ortheia Barnes [1]
Alonzo W. Bates *
Keith B. Butler [2]
Sheila M. Cockrel [3]*
Ken Cockrel, Jr.*
Barbara-Rose Collins [4]*
Monica Conyers [5]
Tia Davis [6]
Jai-Lee Dearing [6]
Brenda Jones [7]
Hilmer Kenty [8]
Kwame Kenyatta [9]
Maryann Mahaffey [10]*
Martha Reeves [11]
Bettie Cook Scott [12]
Thomas F. Stallworth III [13]
Alberta Tinsley Talabi [14]*
Jo Ann Watson [15]*

To be honest it is a waste of a vote and no honor to vote for Mahaffey. The city can not afford a special election and there is no guarantee a better slate of candidates for that one position.

So which candidates do you think are the best for City Council? Who is going to have Detroit’s best interest in mind?

Weblinks were grabbed from Publius.org’s [16]Detroit ballot. Tomorrow, let’s discuss City Clerk Candidates…
