As we run up to the November Detroit election, we're doing some candidate interviews.

One of them is M.L. Elrick. He's running for District 4 on Detroit's east side. We talk about his ideas around keeping flood waters out of basements, ethics, his plan to remove the perk of a city-provided car for council members, development, Detroit's bus problems, and more.

His website: https://ml4detroit.com/

Note: We will have an automated transcript up on our website this week.

To be clear, we are not offering endorsements. The point of these conversations is to leave our listeners more informed, however you decide to vote. What we do want to do is raise up policy ideas and solutions as our city and suburbs face a number of challenges and opportunities.

Information is in the episode if you're a candidate or represent one and would like to connect for a conversation.
