DETROIT — Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan has easily defeated attorney Anthony Adams to win a third four-year term leading the Motor City.
Duggan was the clear favorite to win Tuesday's election after first winning in 2013 and taking over in January 2014. That was just after the city emerged from the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.
Duggan had won more than 72 % of the votes in the August primary, in which the top two vote-getters in the nonpartisan primary moved on to the general election.
Adams was a former deputy mayor in the early to mid-2000s under Kwame Kilpatrick.
