Overview
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan has declared his intention to run for Michigan governor in 2026 as an independent candidate. Citing widespread voter disillusionment with both major parties, Duggan aims to offer a fresh alternative, emphasizing collaboration over partisanship.

As the first candidate to announce, Duggan will face a potentially crowded Democratic primary, with influential figures already in the race. His independent challenge could appeal to moderates and disaffected party members, reshaping the political landscape leading up to the election.
