Mike Dugeon, a 30-year-old northwest Detroit barber with no known political experience, filed papers Thursday morning as a write-in candidate in the Aug. 6 mayoral primary.
His name is pronounced DUG-un, as in Mike Duggan
Dugeon, a Cooley High grad who went on to Michigan Barber School and cuts hair at Big D's Barbershop on Livernois, is widely seen as a potential spoiler to Mike Duggan’s write-in candidacy for mayor. City election rules allow voters to misspell a write-in candidate's name, but having two similarly named men could complicate things.
While Dugeon appears to have no discernible political ideas, he has left a trail of wisdom on his personal Facebook page. (A separate Dugeon For Detroit campaign page, created Thursday, has 3,233 followers already.)
Excerpts from the Michael Thaddeus Dugeon page follow, as they were written by Dugeon:
