Detroit City Council members have stayed quiet about their colleagues on the nine-member body running for mayor.

While Detroit City Council president Mary Sheffield and Triumph Church pastor Solomon Kinloch are touting endorsements from a range of current and former elected officials, they haven’t received public support from anyone on council.

Latisha Johnson (District 4) and Gabriela Santiago-Romero (District 6) have indicated they plan to endorse a candidate, but it’s still unclear who that candidate will be.

Johnson in June told Michigan Chronicle she plans to endorse a candidate after the Aug. 5 primary.
