Sheffield's dominant victory in mayor's race spanned geography, race and income
Detroit Mayor-elect Mary Sheffield showed up to cast her ballot on Tuesday wearing a T-shirt with a slogan: "Mary for Everybody."
Tuesday night's election returns backed up that credo, as Sheffield won a decisive 77% of the vote, including large margins across geography and different sectors of the city's population.
The victory was amplified further at the precinct level, where she won 98.6%, or 424 of the city's 430 precincts. The outgoing City Council president, who was endorsed by Mayor Mike Duggan, won those precincts by an average of 50 percentage points.
By contrast, Kinloch won three precincts, meaning he prevailed in 0.7% of the city's precincts. In the other three, he tied with Sheffield.
