DETROIT (AP) — Asked about his choice for Congress minutes after casting his ballot in Detroit, Michael Fuqua struggled to come up with a name.
McKinney’s win almost assures that Detroit, a majority Black city, will have its first Black representative in Congress since 2022.
Fuqua said he voted for McKinney because Thanedar “has no idea what Black people have been dealing with.”
The following year he announced plans to run for Congress, eyeing the 13th District that covers a good chunk of the Motor City.
Mongo said Thanedar did little for Black people in Detroit during his four years in Congress.
