The Announcement
A heart and service for this international city.
Supporter,
Last night, I announced the creation of an
exploratory committee for a
possible campaign for Mayor of the City of Detroit. I made the announcement standing with Judge Greg Mathis, clergy, union leaders and elected officials at the Mathis Community Center.
Certainly,
we face unprecedented challenges at a time when Detroiters believe that the leadership is scarce. Amid countless requests that I run for the city's top office, I have decided to explore this endeavor and make a decision only if and when it is clear that all sectors of Detroit supports such a venture.
Like you, I am frustrated by our city's direction. I live here as I have all my life. I wake up focused on our Detroit.
Crime is every Detroiter's biggest concern. It is time to take our city back from the thugs. I want to hear from you during the next several weeks as we make our way across the city. In addition to a listening tour, we will utilize
my new website and social media to capture your input.
As a lifelong Detroiter I embark on this journey because
I love Detroit and want more for its families. Let's begin the discussion by
emailing your thoughts directly to me.
Leading Detroit forward,Benny N. Napoleon, J.D.
