✔ Mrs. Ross Byrd, President of the Redford Democratic Club

🗳️ Detroit — The Countdown to Election Day is ON!

In our latest episode of Chew On This Detroit, we’re talking truth about the November 5 election with special guest Michael Richard, former staffer and candidate for Wayne County Commission District 6.

In our “What Up Doe?” segment, we dive into the question:

👉 Will number 47 try to invade Detroit once a new mayor takes office?

Plus, we’re excited to share an update on the Wayne County Civic Youth Council — formerly the Wayne County Youth Council! We have an amazing group of young leaders from across Wayne County (10th–12th graders) stepping up and getting involved. The members were recently sworn in by Probate Judge David Perkins, and we’re proud to partner with Wayne County Clerk Cathy M. Garrett to guide their journey in civic leadership. 🙌🏽
