He received attention from across the country in part because he is the first white mayor of the city since Roman Gribbs in the early 1970s. Currently, most of the people living in Detroit are African American. This was not the case at the time when Gribbs was mayor.[2]
In November 2024, Duggan announced that he would not seek reelection as mayor.[3] The following month, Duggan announced his independent campaign for governor of Michigan in the 2026 election.[4]
