Detroit Mayor Will Run for Governor of Michigan as an Independent in 2026

On December 4, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan said he will run as an independent candidate for Governor Michigan in 2026. He has been a Democrat, but Detroit has non-partisan elections for city office. Michigan doesn’t have registration by party so there is no formal way to determine if he is now a Democrat or an independent, except by his public statements.

He will be hampered because Michigan has a straight-ticket device. Michigan is one of only 24 states that has never elected anyone Governor other than the Democratic or Republican nominee, in all the years since the Civil War. The others are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

    727 F.2d 603
    Peggy GOLDMAN-FRANKIE, et al., Plaintiffs-Appellees,

    Richard AUSTIN, et al., Defendants-Appellants.
    No. 82-1747.
    United States Court of Appeals,
    Sixth Circuit.
    Argued Oct. 25, 1983.

    The defendants’ argument that the lower court and this court are bound by Jones v. Hare, 440 F.2d 685 (6th Cir.) cert. denied, 404 U.S. 911, 92 S.Ct. 237, 30 L.Ed.2d 184 (1971), is not convincing. In Jones, this Court rejected a broad attack on Michigan’s election laws and constitutional provisions including Art. VIII Sec. 3. The Court found the “nominal formation of a so-called ‘political party’ ” a reasonable requirement for gaining access to the ballot. Id., at 686. As the pronouncements of the Supreme Court in Storer v. Brown and its progeny make clear, Jones v. Hare has been overruled.

  4. Jones consistently losing cases makes him more than qualified to be mayor of Detroit.
