Here's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for May 22, 2026.
Former Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan ended his "independent" run to become Michigan's next Governor this week.
Duggan cited poor polling numbers, the struggle to raise money against the Democratic and MAGA Republican Parties, and strong momentum for the Democrats this year as to why his campaign couldn't catch fire.
But Pat Johnston explains the real reason Mike Duggan's campaign fell flat.
It might've had something to do with how he refused to show how he'd stick-up for working class Michiganders while ensuring business as usual in Lansing's toxic corporate culture.
