Toson Knight throws his hat in ring for Detroit City Council
A Detroit school dean and former deputy manager in the department of neighborhoods is running for the open District 4 seat on the city council.
But last year, it was Knight who found himself in need of some help. April 6th of last year my aunt passed, April 20th my mom passed from covid, he said, so I understand the seriousness of it, I understand how it can devastate the family because it did it for us.
How he can protect the rest of his family and the rest of the city will be one of many issues he will face if elected to Detroit s 4th district seat on the city council, which he has announced he plans to run for.
