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

Gett’n Cheezy in Motown

Billy Nershi | The String Cheese Incident | Detroit, MI | November 5th, 2026 - photos by Photo Foo Foo. The String Cheese Incident has a long and close relationship with Michigan having played here over 50 times throughout their long career. Typically those shows take place on the west side of the mitten where Cheese holds their annual megalith festival ; Electric Forest. Detroit has only seen one cheese show in the last 26 years and this week marked only the third time in 30 years they have visited. To say the 313 natives were pumped and ready to get all seriously lactose tolerant is an understatement. A solid contingent made the mecca up from Cleveland for the show as well. 6 PM Doors and a 7:30 start time only added to the temptation for this school night crowd. The ‘Fillmore Detroit’ formerly known as the ‘State Theatre’ is one of the cities prettiest old movie houses sitting on Woodward avenue just across from the Detroit baseball and football stadiums and it's always fun to me to see the jamgrass community in their bright colors and dreads invade the old school marble and crystal palace for a show. Having doors an hour plus before the show with no opening act gave fans ample time to get there, get past TSA and find a bevy and a place to stand. The Fillmore holds close to 3,000 folks at capacity and this show was maybe three quarters full so lots of room to move around and boogie.

Homebuyer Education Classes, Required for Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) Loan Program, Now Available for Free at Gesher Human Services

Lindsey Jenn November 6, 2026 0 Homeownership , Michigan Photo by Kindel Media In-person classes to be held in Southfield, virtual options available to all Michiganders; housing market in Michigan favorable to buyers. Gesher Human Services , one of the largest human service agencies in metro Detroit, is offering Homebuyer Education Classes twice a month through the end of January. While the four-hour classes typically cost $50 for a family, this season the fees are being waived, to remove one extra barrier to families getting into a home that they can own. Such classes are a requirement for the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), Down Payment Assistance Program which provides $7,500-10,000 loans to families with limited incomes hoping to purchase a home. A report by Patch in October suggested the Michigan housing market is showing signs of shifting toward buyers, giving buyers more negotiating power than sellers. Experts believe this is because there are fewer buyers than normal because some have been priced out of the market, and others are worried because of economic uncertainty. The in-person classes will be held at Gesher’s headquarters in Southfield (29699 Southfield Road ) from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; afternoon classes are
