Detroit mayor launches independent 2026 run for Michigan governor
SHARE

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan made a surprising announcement on Wednesday, declaring his candidacy for Michigan governor as an independent candidate, breaking away from the Democratic Party. In a video announcement, Duggan emphasized that his goal is to be the governor for all Michiganders, regardless of party affiliation.

As the first candidate to officially enter the 2026 gubernatorial race, Duggan is expected to face a competitive field in the quest to succeed Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who is unable to run for reelection due to term limits. Duggan, who has served three terms as the mayor of Detroit, recently announced that he would not seek a fourth term, citing that he had accomplished his goals during his time in office.

In his announcement video, Duggan highlighted his independent stance on political issues, stating that he did not align with the rigid ideologies of either major party. He pointed to his decision to support increased overtime pay for Detroit Police officers in 2022, despite calls to defund the police, as an example of his willingness to prioritize pragmatic solutions over partisan politics.

Reflecting on his tenure as mayor, Duggan emphasized his successful efforts to revitalize Detroit following the city’s bankruptcy in 2013. He secured a landslide reelection victory in 2021, winning 76 percent of the vote, a testament to his popularity and effectiveness as a leader.

Duggan expressed his frustration with the current state of politics in Michigan, criticizing the divisive and unproductive nature of partisan bickering. He vowed to bring a fresh perspective to the governor’s office, advocating for a more collaborative and inclusive approach to governance.

As he embarks on his campaign for governor, Duggan hopes to spark a meaningful dialogue about the need for a new direction in Michigan politics. By offering himself as an independent candidate, he aims to appeal to voters who are disillusioned with the existing party system and seek a candidate who prioritizes practical solutions over ideological dogma.

Overall, Duggan’s decision to run as an independent candidate for governor signals a departure from traditional party politics and a commitment to representing the interests of all Michiganders. His candidacy is sure to shake up the 2026 gubernatorial race and inject a fresh perspective into the state’s political landscape.
