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.
