Even against those odds, the excitement for real change carried this campaign upward for more than a year.\u00a0 In every one of the 5-10 town halls a week I was holding across Michigan, we hosted Democrat, Republican, and Independent neighbors all mixed together in lively and positive discussions.\u00a0 It was a remarkable experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 ewwUYq\">But by April, the mood of the country had shifted suddenly and dramatically.\u00a0 Democrats (and many Independents) were unified in anger as Trump\u2019s war in Iran dragged on and gas prices rose above $5 a gallon.\u00a0 On May 5, the Democratic State Senate candidate in Saginaw won 60% of the vote in a seat Republicans thought would be very competitive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 ewwUYq\">Against the Democratic headwinds, we worked twice as hard.\u00a0 We continued to pile up huge numbers of union endorsements, once the unions learned that Michigan election law allowed voters to vote both straight ticket Democrat and also vote Duggan as an Independent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 ewwUYq\">But for the public in general, our internal polling showed the intense anger over gas prices and Iran was boosting Democrats in every office nationally.\u00a0 The Chamber poll last week showing we\u2019d fallen 11 points behind the Democratic candidate reflects that reality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 ewwUYq\">Being down 11 points in May wouldn\u2019t discourage me \u2013 I\u2019ve been down worse than that in the past.\u00a0 But this time it\u2019s compounded by our inability to build serious national fundraising support.\u00a0 Michigan donors have been extraordinarily generous in supporting this campaign \u2013 94% of my donors come from Michigan.\u00a0 We raised more in-state than any other candidate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 ewwUYq\">But Governor\u2019s campaigns are today funded overwhelmingly from well-established networks of national party money, which is why I\u2019ve been all across America meeting with national groups to try to build a competitive fundraising network for Independents.\u00a0 There is much interest, but we\u2019ve finally concluded the national fundraising for these groups is too much in its infancy to be of great help to our race in 2026.\u00a0\u00a0 As generous as our Michigan donors have been, we will be strongly outspent by the national Republican and Democratic parties this fall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 ewwUYq\">If we were even in the polls and behind in fundraising, we have a path to winning.\u00a0 If we were behind in the polls and even in fundraising, we have a path. But we\u2019re behind in both.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s just not right to ask our volunteers, faith leaders, unions, elected officials and donors to continue in a campaign that, in my heart, I no longer feel good about our chances to win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 ewwUYq\">I got into this race to try to change our politics, not to be a spoiler.\u00a0 I\u2019m still hopeful our campaign will prove to have a real long-term impact.\u00a0 23% support in the last poll means more than 1.6 million Michigan voters are today looking for a Governor candidate serious about reducing the toxic partisan politics.\u00a0 If the candidates on the ballot this year take that message to heart and truly reach out to those voters, we will have accomplished something important.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 ewwUYq\">I will never be able to express the gratitude I feel for all your support and encouragement.\u00a0 I wish I could have done better for you.<\/p>\n<p><cite class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 fwWldV\">Mike Duggan<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Duggan was the first candidate to announce his bid for governor, as he made the announcement after he finished serving as Detroit\u2019s mayor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The once-Democrat was credited by many for leading Detroit out of bankruptcy into a thriving city.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">He was elected mayor in 2013, running a write-in campaign after a ballot challenge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Since Duggan was in office, violent crime decreased, and Detroit\u2019s population increased slightly in 2023. That was the first uptick in population since the 1950s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Current candidates running for Michigan\u2019s next governor include Democrats Jocelyn Benson and Chris Swanson, and Republicans John James, Aric Nesbitt, Mike Cox, Perry Johnson and Ralph Rebandt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Benson, in response to Duggan\u2019s announcement, released the following statement:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__StackBase-sc-1fnzlkn-7 bqJyUE iQviKm block-quote\">\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 ewwUYq\">\u201cI want to thank Mayor Mike Duggan for what he brought to this race and for his years of service to Detroit. At a time when politics can feel divided and cynical, we need more civility, more listening, and more people willing to work together to move our state forward. I welcome Mayor Duggan\u2019s ideas, his supporters, and everyone who believes Michigan\u2019s future is bigger than division \u2014 and that it can be a place where anyone can afford to live, work, and thrive. We may not always agree on everything, but we share a commitment to building a stronger Michigan. And that work continues in this campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><cite class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 fwWldV\">Jocelyn Benson, Secretary of State and Democratic candidate for Michigan gubernatorial race<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2026 by WDIV ClickOnDetroit &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickondetroit.com\/news\/local\/2026\/05\/21\/former-detroit-mayor-mike-duggan-drops-out-of-michigan-governor-race\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\nMore: https:\/\/theglobaltrack.com\/<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/corinthiames.com.br\/<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DETROIT \u2013 Mike Duggan is dropping out of the race for Michigan\u2019s next governor.
