Detroit A perennial mayoral candidate is the latest high-profile figure making a bid to take on Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan this fall, joining Kwame Kilpatrick-era deputy mayor Anthony Adams and 11 others, including a handful of repeat candidates.
Tom Barrow, 71, submitted petition signatures Tuesday ahead of the 4 p.m. filing deadline, saying it s time for a real Detroiter.
Barrow, an activist and former certified public accountant, is seeking certification for the race that would mark the second go around with Duggan, and Barrow s fifth run for mayor in Detroit. Duggan turned his signatures in Tuesday as well. I m competent, I m capable. I m a Detroiter through-and-through, Barrow told The Detroit News Tuesday, adding he stepped up because he didn t feel other challengers emerging in the race could bring the energy.

We have a shared experience,” he said in an appeal to fellow city residents. “I understand your plight. I ve been in the struggle with you. I know how public policy can negatively impact the lives of Detroiters.

DETROIT Anthony Adams was once Kwame Kilpatrick s right-hand man. Now, he is running to become the mayor of Detroit, a position Kilpatrick once held and a seat currently filled by Mike Duggan.
Adams announced his campaign plans Tuesday in a video posted to social media on the Facebook page Anthony Adams For Mayor. The former city deputy mayor said his campaign focus will be on We, Detroit. Anyone who lives in Detroit knows that the city is at a crossroad, Adams said in a statement. We, Detroit, deserve so much more. Unless it is an election year, the residents of Detroit are placed on the backburner and have to wait to be acknowledged from the current administration. My campaign is about empowering our city s residents and restoring a strong sense of pride for all Detroiters.
