What Mamdani could teach Detroit's Mayoral candidates

Daily Detroit

About this episode

Zohran Mamdani winning the New York City Democratic primary for mayor is a political earthquake. What are the lessons of his success than can be used locally? Whether it's tone, media, topics, or policies?

00:34 - Why does Zohran Mamdani's primary win in New York City matter to Detroit? Sure it can be about policy, but it's also about energy

04:49 - Norris' advice for running for office in 2025.

10:18 - Bridging the huge apathy gap in Detroit and getting Detroiters under the age of 50 engaged, let alone those under 30 

13:14 - It's key to make allies across groups that you don't 100% agree with. We will not build community if we will not talk to people who are different from ourselves.

16:23 - Do Detroiters like progressive ideas? Depends on who you ask and in what context. Often the ideas are more popular than the labels. And how do you communicate those ideas?

21:14 - Much of Detroit's field of candidates could do with a little online rizz elevation and focus of message.
