  • Independent candidates haven't succeeded at the statewide level in Michigan, but experts note Duggan is unique compared to those who've tried before.

The article from USA Today discusses the potential candidacy of Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan for Michigan governor as an independent in the 2026 election. Duggan, who has been mayor since 2014, has garnered attention for his successful initiatives in Detroit, including revitalizing neighborhoods, improving city services, and attracting new businesses. His potential run as an independent could shake up Michigan's political landscape, traditionally dominated by Democrats and Republicans. Analysts suggest that Duggan's appeal lies in his pragmatic approach to governance, focusing on results rather than party lines, which could attract voters disillusioned with partisan politics. However, his decision to run independently poses challenges, including the need to gather significant signatures to get on the ballot and the difficulty of winning without a major party's support. The article also touches on the broader implications of his candidacy, potentially influencing other independent or third-party runs in future elections.
