Up until now, Mayor Mike Duggan hasn't said or done anything to suggest he won't run for a re-election.
On Saturday night, Duggan, 58, he didn't formally announce his candidacy, but he made it pretty clear in statements to a group of more than 100 community leaders at the union offices of SEIU Healthcare Michigan on Fourth Street that he intends to be on the ballot for re-election this year, reports Louis Aguilar of The Detroit News.
“There was little question that he is going to run again. They even showed campaign signs,” Thomas Page, a New Center resident and Midtown activist who attended the event tells The News.
Over the past few years, Duggan has vehemently denied speculation that he plans to run for governor in 2018. Running for mayor in 2017, wouldn't preclude him from running for the state's top office and telling Detroiters he can do more for them by being in charge in Lansing.
