Displaced residents of Leland House in Detroit to get $15K each

Former residents of the Leland House apartments in downtown Detroit are to each get $15,000 as part of a bankruptcy court settlement that a judge approved the week of Nov. 2. The settlement, which could exceed $500,000 in total, was obtained by the Detroit Tenants Union on behalf of the 37 residents, who were forced to evacuate the 21-story downtown high-rise last December after an electrical outage caused by broken equipment in the building.

How 6 leaders describe the impact of outgoing Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

It will be a full circle moment when Gov. Gretchen Whitmer takes the stage with me on Friday, Nov. 20, at the next Detroit Free Press Breakfast Club speakers forum. The last time we appeared together was January 2019. She had recently taken the oath of office as Michigan's 49th governor and that morning marked her first public event. Eight years later, the relentless hard-working daughter of the late Sherry Whitmer, a former assistant attorney general for the state of Michigan, and the late Dick Whitmer, CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, has blazed trails of her own through politics and business, and along the way has become a national public figure. Serious issues no one could have anticipated arose during her time in office. Topping the list: a 100-year pandemic in 2020 that impacted the entire world and Michigan, with a vengeance. Then, it was the upheaval of the state’s auto industry brought by changing policies of the Biden administration to encourage a focus on electric vehicles. The upheaval continued with the return of the Trump administration and its changes on EVs. A rise in inflation, a tariff war with Canada and the war with Iran have

In Detroit, Republican's Black voter outreach fell flat

DETROIT— In this majority-Black and Democratic stronghold, Republican candidates lost the gains in the Nov. 3 midterm election made by President Trump in the 2024 election, vote totals show. According to Detroit election data, Republican senatorial candidate Mike Rogers got 5.4% of the Detroit vote compared to Democrat Abdul El-Sayed's 91.8%. Other GOP candidates fared worse, including gubernatorial candidate John James, 5.2%, and Attorney General candidate Doug Lloyd, 4.6%, and Secretary of state candidate Anthony Forlini, 3.9%. In the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump received 8% of Detroit votes, which was three percentage points higher than his 2020 run. "Trump really made gains with a number of African Americans, mainly African American men and young African American men in 2024," said David Dulio, a political science professor at Oakland University. "This is just another indication that groups and individuals that supported him went elsewhere or just didn't vote." Rogers, a former U.S. congressman, made a concerted effort during the final stretch of his Senate campaign to appeal to Black voters, attending a Detroit church the weekend before the election and doing other outreach. In the end, he did better than polling suggested among Black voters, but not enough to make
