City Council President Mary Sheffield will be Detroit's newest mayor and the first woman to lead the city. Sheffield defeated popular megachurch pastor Rev. Solomon Kinloch in Tuesday's general election. She will take office in January and succeed three-term mayor Mike Duggan, who announced last year that he would not seek reelection. Duggan is running for Michigan governor as an independent to replace term-limited Democrat Gretchen Whitmer. In Buffalo incumbent Sean Ryan registered a landslide win over Republican James Gardner.
Also among the victors were Democrat Aftab Pureval, who won the reelection as mayor of Cincinnati, defeating Cory Bowman. The Republican candidate is Vice President J D Vance's half-brother.
