At an announcement tonight at the Boys & Girls Club of Southeastern Michigan on Collingwood, the Detroit city council member said he wants to "take Detroit to the next level."

He's a former state legislator and has been in council since 2021.

Durhal III is the third candidate along with current council president Mary Sheffield and former council president Saunteel Jenkins to declare.

Last month as a exploratory candidate, Durhal III stopped by our Daily Detroit studio for an in-depth discussion on his policy ideas on our podcast.

The video is embedded above and you can find it here.

I plan to have in-depth conversations with every candidate for mayor that I can, and there's another one set to publish later this week.
