We sent every candidate for council and mayor a copy of the Detroit Environmental Agenda report and a short questionnaire with the following questions:
1. Do you endorse the Detroit Environmental Agenda?
2. Detroit suffers from very high rates of asthma, cancer, and lead poisoning, all influenced by our heavily polluted environment. These problems impact children’s ability to learn and adults’ ability to work. What would you, as an elected official, do to improve Detroit’s environment?
3. How would you, as an elected official, be an advocate for resident efforts to improve neighborhood quality of life?
4. In the interests of environmental justice, how would you work to alleviate disproportionate environmental burdens in the city?
5. The City needs to be an advocate for higher environmental standards. If you are elected, how do you envision using the Detroit Environmental Agenda as a tool to create policies that improve the city’s environment?
For mayoral candidates, we asked if they would consider establishing an Office of Sustainability with the power to move Detroit Environmental Agenda recommendations forward.
The voter guide is meant to be informational. The Detroit Environmental Agenda does not endorse any candidate for any office. All of the candidate responses are printed in this guide as submitted, with corrections only for spelling and capitalization.
