Detroit mayoral primary election results 2025: These 9 candidates await their fate
Detroit's nine mayoral candidates are officially done campaigning, for now, as the polls for the Aug. 5 primary close and they await results to see where voters' support stands. Election results 2025: Detroit and Wayne County primary races, ballot proposals Candidates spent all year campaigning and collecting funds to secure the top seat as Detroit's next leader, as Mayor Mike Duggan decided against seeking reelection to, instead, run for Michigan governor as an independent candidate. Detroit City Council President Mary Sheffield had an early fundraising lead since launching her candidate committee about two years before the primary election. However, multiple candidates poured into the race and hit the ground running across the city, quickly accumulating donors in an attempt to garner voter support. Candidates for the August primary mayoral race include Sheffield, former nonprofit CEO Saunteel Jenkins, City Councilman Fred Durhal III, Pastor Solomon Kinloch, Jr., former Detroit Police Chief James Craig, Detroit attorney Todd Perkins, businessman Joel Haashiim, entrepreneur John Barlow and DaNetta Simpson. As of Sunday, Aug. 3, at least 2,367 voters had voted early and 45,885 absentee ballots had been returned, putting primary turnout on pace to reach between 13-18%, which the clerk's office predicted. As voters cast their ballots Tuesday, some, like Adrianne McCutchen, were hoping for a leader to boost the city. She declined to say how she planned to vote, however, she expressed hope for change and continued growth in the city. 'I'm just looking forward to the candidates being narrowed down,' McCutchen told the Free Press. Omar Deadwilder, 43, said he works with youths with disabilities as a vocational counselor for the state, said he planned for vote for Sheffield due to her experience as a city council member, even though he likes Kinloch as a pastor. 'We need somebody in there who knows what they're doing day one,' Deadwilder said. '(Kinloch) has a good heart for the city, but I don't think he would know what to do day one." Sheffield spent the last week attending various events, block parties and a senior home in a final push to garner support. The council member voted Tuesday morning at the Horatio Williams Foundation and continued her day engaging in voter outreach. The city council president is kicking off election night celebrations at the Cielo Rooftop, located inside downtown Detroit's Cambria Hotel, with dozens of supporters. Sheffield's ritzy rooftop party is packed with an electric crowd of supporters in brightly colored cocktail or Sheffield campaign attire, soaking up downtown's golden hour sun as they wait for her to arrive. Jenkins made thousands of calls and knocked doors in the final days and mingled with dancers at a "Dancing in the D" event. She took advantage of early voting in the city and already cast her ballot July 28 alongside her husband. The former city council president spent primary day visiting various polling sites, capping off the night with her team and supporters at The Enclave on Detroit's northwest side to celebrate her campaign. Kinloch addressed his supporters at gospel music celebration put on by metro Detroit pastors and musicians at Mount Zion Baptist Church over the weekend, and attended listening sessions with residents who invited him to speak. He stopped by various polling sites after casting his ballot at the Chrysler Elementary School. The Triumph Church pastor is ending his night in celebration of his campaign at the Roostertail on Detroit's east side. Kinloch and Craig both attended a breakfast hosted by radio personality Mildred Gaddis of The Mildred Gaddis Show on Kiss FM 105.9 on Aug. 3. Durhal hosted a get-out-the-vote rally days before the election. He cast his ballot Tuesday morning at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeastern Michigan: Dick & Sandy Dauch Campus, followed by a dozen precinct stops throughout the day. The councilman is capping things off with his team and supporters at the Hotel St. Regis. Barlow visted several cookouts and stopped at bus stations to hand out water and bus tickets. The entrepreneur is celebrating at the Shadow Gallery. Dana Afana is the Detroit city hall reporter for the Free Press. Contact: dafana@ Follow her: @DanaAfana.

'Solid turnout:' More than 25,522 votes cast in Spartanburg Republican primary; see results
In early voting, three candidates emerged in the lead for Spartanburg County sheriff. Reporting by the Spartanburg County Voter Registration and Elections had Rusty Clevenger out front with 1,690 votes. Bill Rhyne was close behind with 1,635. Robert Cheeks was in third place with 1,329. Other candidates in the race are Andy Clark, Adam Crisp, Nick Duncan, Bill Hollifield, Joseph Pilato, and Ric Stephens. Among that group, Nick Duncan had the most votes -- 397. Duncan took on former Sheriff Chuck Wright in last year's Republican Primary. Wright won re-election in 2024 but resigned several months ago amid controversy. Restoring trust in the sheriff's office was a major theme of the campaign, with candidates promising greater transparency and community engagement. 'I want someone who's going to stand up and be there for us – and who wasn't involved in the mess that went on,' said Corey Epley, who voted at the Converse Fire Station precinct. Epley believes voters have responsibility, too. 'It's our responsibility to make sure our county is taken care of,' he said. Ryan Blaney, who voted at McCracken Middle School, said he believes that taking part in local elections is 'the best way to make a difference.' He added, 'Part of being a citizen is voting.' Spartanburg County Director of Voting and Elections John Baucom said 25,522 votes were cast – a number he considered to represent a 'solid' turnout. As time approached for polls to close at precincts on the east side of Spartanburg -- where two Republican primary races for both Spartanburg County Sheriff and Spartanburg County Council District 3 were taking place -- residents were still making their way to vote. "I think it's important to vote. It's a privilege that we take for granted," said Steven Blanton, who voted at McCracken Middle School. The candidates have been locked in a vigorous race for sheriff, taking part in several forums, canvassing neighborhoods, and staying active on social media. Voting at the Converse Fire Station polling location was light during the afternoon. At about 5:30, 148 people voted out of a total of 1,248 registered voters in the precinct. One of them was Carl Hollifield. He was particularly interested in the special election for the county council. Six candidates were in the GOP primary race to replace David Britt, who served for more than 30 years before taking a role with the South Carolina Public Service Commission. Hollifield is concerned about growth on the east side of the county -- especially the construction of numerous subdivisions. "They're running out of room everywhere else," he said. Hollifield favored former Cowpens Town Council member and retired magistrate Paul Abbott. In addition to Abbott, candidates included Bryan Alverson, Tim Burrell, Caylus Goodson, and Jason Lynch. Blanton said he voted for Lynch. This story will be updated as results come in this evening.
