Did I miss Mayor's Bing's announcement to run?

I know that all the info on this website is old but I noticed that the heading states RE-ELECT MAYOR BING.

I must admit I have not been paying attention to the news but
I'm sure someone would have told me.

It's still old. Bing finished up the last part of Kilpatrick's term then sought re-election later that year.

While going thru the link provided there was mention made that Bing did not attend the Jefferson-Jackson dinner. That's probably the biggest sign that he is not going to run again.

In that article, Bill McGraw points out that you don't miss the Jefferson-Jackson dinner if you're a serious Democrat in Detroit. But I never figured Bing was a Democrat except in name only to get elected in the first place. He's always seemed more like a Republican to me.

Did you mean "run away" from his office.....just what I thought, your welcome!

KING BING political career is already done. Gov. Synder, The Nerd and his Emergency Manager make sure if that. He would be the LAST BLACK MAYOR OF DETROIT.
