My guess is the one with the longest and most serious crimes on record would get the most votes. After all, it must be the candidate with the “most challenges” in life.

I’m greatly entertained by the title alone!!! Wonder if all the candidates are Democrats? Me is thinking so.

After all the communists who ran Detroit for so long and ruined the city, a few criminals will actually improve the quality of the politicians.

Mayor Coleman Young - longtime identified member of the Communist Party USA and died a hardcore red

Maryanne Mahaffey - City Council and then CC President - longtime CPUSA supporter then member of the Marxist Democratic Socialists of America

- Erma Henderson- same as above

Judge George Crockett Jr - id. CPUSA, died a red. Voted against condemning the Soviet Union for shooting down civilian airliner KAL 007 which killed fellow U.S. Congressman Larry McDonald (D-Ga) (The other No vote was Rep. John Conyers Jr, (a lifelong communist after the Korean War - he might have been a CPer before he was drafted because his father was a UAW official under CPUSA control - but the father later went with former CPUSA member Walter Reuther’s faction.

Don’t know whether Jackie Vaugh was also on the City Council or not. Longtime red.

Gonna be difficult to respect a city that clearly has no respect for itself.
