PHILADELPHIA – Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan spoke to Democrats Wednesday night at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, highlighting unity as a source of problem solving.
“The population of Detroit has declined every single year that I’ve been alive, but that’s changing now as our city’s recovery is fueled by renewed spirit of unity and a commitment to creating a comeback that includes all Detroiters.”
Duggan spoke highly of Hillary Clinton saying she “knows that the best way to bring our citizens back is to give our citizens a real change at good paying jobs.
During his speech, he said the city is 18 months out of bankruptcy, “something Donald Trump knows a little bit about.”
“Unlike Donald Trump, Detroit is only going to do bankruptcy once,” Duggan said.
