I can't thank David DiRita and his development team and Councilman Coleman Young, II, enough for coming out to celebrate. Without the support of the Whitmer administration and City Council’s $7 mil commitment in ARPA funds to this project, this would not have been possible. https://t.co/ODyQrTik3U — PolitiTweet.org

For 25 years, Lee Plaza has sat vacant on W. Grand Boulevard in the Northwest Goldberg neighborhood. Today, I joined with the team that stopped at nothing to preserve this gorgeous building and turn it into 117 units of affordable housing for our senior citizens. https://t.co/gwJckKtPWY — PolitiTweet.org

As we review the best candidates nationally for permanent Fire Commissioner over the next few months, I expect Commissioner Sims will prove to be a compelling candidate and look forward to seeing the progress of the DFD under his leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

The respect and admiration Commissioner Simms has earned throughout his 35-year career with DFD was clear today, as he was surrounded by his leadership team and key department members. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

He also played a major role in the Department’s successful efforts to improve the city’s ISO rating - a national rating system - which measures a city’s preparedness to fight fires to set homeowner insurance rates. — PolitiTweet.org

I was greatly impressed when Interim Commissioner Simms served as the Chief of Arson, where he was responsible for overseeing a 74% increase in the arrests of arson suspects, which played a major factor in ending the Annual Angel’s Night Campaign due their successful efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Today I was thrilled to name a career firefighter and true child of the city as our new Interim Fire Commissioner. Chuck Simms grew up on the City's east side. After graduating from Pershing High School, he joined the Detroit Fire Department where he steadily moved up the ranks. https://t.co/P2JKymgG0p — PolitiTweet.org

As we look back on Dr. King's legacy we must remember that fulfilling his dream requires work and consistency. Dr. King's vision continues to inspire us all, and the work our city does to build on his ideals everyday. https://t.co/ackqZp7JiI — PolitiTweet.org

At DWSD, Gary Brown recently named Tiffany Jones as Director of Opportunity & Inclusion. Tiffany has served DWSD since 2018 as its Director of Public Affairs. In her new role, she will be in charge of DWSD's efforts to ensure minority and Detroiter participation in hiring. https://t.co/PhgiQif3e6 — PolitiTweet.org

This week, Chief James White announced the appointment of Mary Engelman as its new Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Executive Manager. She will be tasked with creating a more inclusive environment, internally and externally. https://t.co/mhgW8Dgw8N — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Today, as we celebrate Dr. King's birthday, we take stock of how, individually and collectively, we are advancing his dream of a just and equitable society. I'm proud of the work being done across many city departments to create greater equity and opportunity in our city. https://t.co/JM50F0Jr0t — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to Key Bank and other DHFF funders, we can help ensure that all Detroiters, no matter their income, will have the opportunity to live in quality housing and in any neighborhood they choose. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

As of today, nearly 1,300 new affordable housing units have opened or are under construction, and almost 5,700 affordable housing units have had or will have their rents extended for another 15 to 30 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

The DHFF helps close the financing gap for developers, allowing them to develop or preserve more affordable housing in our city toward our goal of preserving 10,000 units for affordable housing, and developing an additional 2,000 units. https://t.co/4k4Gl5egTV — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Today, our efforts to keep longtime Detroiters in their homes got a big boost from our friends at Key Bank with a $10 million commitment to our Detroit Housing for the Future Fund. https://t.co/nhEwmgPoxY — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

When I talk to other big city mayors, the one thing I have heard consistently is that they wish they had developed a plan to prevent gentrification and displacement of lower income resident as their cities revitalized. That's a mistake we are not making in Detroit. https://t.co/RxEPiokJri — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

I stand with @POTUS in calling on Congress to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, so the American people can know their elected leaders in Washington truly support democracy and restoring the strength of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

In less than a week, we will celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, who gave his life for the cause of Civil Rights - including voting rights. Yet in the past 50 years the need for voter protection has never been more urgent than it is today. https://t.co/nc8ku4qc0C — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Covid-19 numbers continue to increase across the City, putting our residents at risk. Following CDC and FDA approval, kids ages 12 and older can get boosters of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. https://t.co/IyB0zoGAIl — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Over the next four years, our priorities can be summarized in three words: Opportunity, Safety and Beauty. I look forward to working closely with our newly-installed City Council, Board of Police Commissioners and City Clerk as they also work to move our great city forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Today, I was humbled to be sworn in as the second-longest serving Mayor of Detroit, behind only the incredible Mayor Coleman Young. I can’t thank the people of Detroit enough for their faith in me and the great leadership team we have assembled to keep moving our city forward. https://t.co/poDRKqJhXI — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

We also have 12 vaccine sites across the City with varying hours. The best thing you can do to protect yourself and others is to get vaccinated and boosted. It is highly encouraged that you avoid large crowds, wear a surgical or KN95 mask, and continue social distancing. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Between both Rapid Testing Centers, 1,000 tests will be available daily by appointment only. All you need to do is call 313-230-0505 to schedule an appointment and show proof that you live or work in Detroit. https://t.co/3pesy0dtUi — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

We are continuing to make Detroit the easiest place to get tested, so we have opened another rapid test center at Huntington Place (formerly TCF Center) Monday through Friday from 9am - 5pm. Joseph Walker Williams will continue to operate Monday through Friday from 7am - 4:30pm. https://t.co/IUjdOJIKE8 — PolitiTweet.org

In less than three weeks, the Covid positive rate in the Detroit region has soared to 33%. With the Delta variant slowly diminishing, the Omicron variant has now proven to be 3x more transmissible than Delta and the effectiveness of cloth masks has decreased significantly. https://t.co/3NzRQbTYU8 — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Today, their fellow councilmembers selected them for these positions for the next four years. I look forward to working with President Sheffield and President Pro-Tem Tate and their colleagues during this new term to create more opportunity and greater equity for our residents. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

Congratulations to our new City Council President Mary Sheffield and Council President Pro-Tempore James Tate. Each of these outstanding public servants has demonstrated their leadership, as well as their commitment to their District constituents and to all Detroiters. https://t.co/8KRyDRE2et — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Mike Duggan @MayorMikeDuggan

On behalf of the 9,000 men and women who make up our City of Detroit government, I'd like to wish you all a very happy, healthy New Year! https://t.co/Hg8UhP23GM — PolitiTweet.org
