Duggan re-elected as Detroit Mayor again plus firsts for mayors of Dearborn, Hamtramck, and Jackson

I promised I would cover yesterday's elections in Virginia and elsewhere, but Virginia's results depress me and New Jersey's results aren't settled yet, so I'm going to focus on local results here in Michigan. Watch WXYZ's Duggan projected to easily win third term as Detroit Mayor.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan has easily defeated attorney Anthony Adams to win a third four-year term leading the Motor City.

I was all over Duggan's first campaign for Detroit Mayor and covered his re-election four years ago, so it's only fitting that I blog about his second re-election. Congratulations, Your Honor!

WDIV/Click on Detroit had that news and much more in Mike Duggan elected to 3rd term as Detroit mayor.

Michigan's 2021 General Election was held on Tuesday, Nov. 2, with hundreds of jurisdictions holding races.

That's quite the election roundup.

WDIV/Click on Detroit reported on two firsts in Hamtramck elects first Muslim mayor, Dearborn elects first Arab-American mayor.

The city of Hamtramck has elected its first Muslim Mayor, Amer Ghalib. Nearby in the city of Dearborn, voters elected the city's first Arab-American mayor, Abdullah Hammoud.

It's about time that the leadership of both cities reflected their populations. Congratulations to both Ghalib and Hammoud!

WXYZ interviewed one of the mayors-elect in Abdullah Hammoud speaks after being elected Dearborn mayor.

State Rep. Abdullah Hammoud spoke with 7 Action News on Wednesday morning after he won the election to become the next Dearborn mayor.

I think the anchor better get used to saying Hammoud's name. I think he's going to make a lot of news for years to come.

In another first, Jackson elected its first African-American mayor, Daniel Mahoney. Congratulations!
