Detroit City Council Election 2025: 2 open seats, well-known at-large races underway
FOX 2 - This election features two open city council seats in Detroit with a lot on the line and a future that includes working with a new mayor for the first time in over 10 years.
Both open seats were vacated by Council President Mary Sheffied in District 5 and by Fred Durhall III in District 7. However, that's not all that's up for grabs on Nov. 4.
Sheffield, running to be the city's first-ever woman mayor, had a dominant run in the August Primary, winning over 50 percent of the vote.
Her challenger, Solomon Kinloch Jr., edged out Saunteel Jenkins, advancing to the general election.
