Major changes are ahead for civic life in Detroit. At BridgeDetroit, we want you to know all your options and have a chance to get to know the people who are running to represent you in 2025.

That’s why we’re inviting Detroiters to Meet the Candidates! We will be hosting a series of events in each city district starting this month to bring candidates together with residents and provide for a formal Q&A and networking. We want to give you the opportunity to make the best choices possible for your life.

We will also be co-hosting a mayoral forum in July. We hope to see you there!

Please RSVP on Eventbrite so we can get a headcount for seating and refreshments.
