Detroit mayoral candidates clash in first Detroit debate
Detroit mayoral candidates City Council President Mary Sheffield and the Reverend Solomon Kinloch Jr. went head-to-head in a televised debate hosted by WXYZ-TV Channel 7.
One of the first questions asked the candidates how they planned to deal with violent crime.
Candidate Reverend Kinloch said there’s currently “failed leadership” and suggested there’s “fudging of the numbers” with crime data. He added that residents deserve safety and justice.
Council President Sheffield said one life lost is “still far too many” but also noted the record lows in the crime rate.
