Property manager announces run for Sioux Falls City Council
A Sioux Falls property manager is the latest person to announce candidacy for the Sioux Falls City Council, adding another person to the already-crowded race for the Central district seat. Matthew McKinley, who filed to run Aug. 15, said in an interview that his goal as a councilor would be "building a safer Sioux Falls." He said a major portion of that would be lowering the city's homeless population through things like transitional housing and an expansion of a "co-response" program that has paired Sioux Falls police officers with mental health professionals to respond to select calls. McKinley spoke positively about the encampment ordinance that later passed a vote of the council, saying he was "very relieved to see that" and standing up to speak about it on Aug. 19 at the meeting. "You don't want your kids to go out there and step in human waste and litter, even needles and stuff like that," McKinley told councilors. "That's what happens when you allow this to continue to grow, and it becomes like Chicago next thing you know it." McKinley is the fourth candidate to file to run for the city's Central district seat, joining Robert Trzynka, Thomas Werner and Mike Zitterich. That election will be held on June 2 following a new state law that changed election dates from their traditional place in April.

Mike Duggan endorses Mary Sheffield for 2025 Detroit mayoral election
Detroit mayoral candidate Mary Sheffield secured a major campaign endorsement Aug. 20 from the city's current top leader — Mayor Mike Duggan. The Detroit City Council president accepted the third-term mayor's endorsement outside of a home on Detroit's northwest side in what she described as a 'pivotal moment' in the mayoral race. Sheffield has led the mayoral race from a fundraising standpoint, securing big donations from corporate leaders and political action committees. She will face off against Triumph Church Pastor Solomon Kinloch for the mayoral seat in the Nov. 4 general election. "I am humbled to receive the support of our current mayor," Sheffield said. "His belief and his confidence in me to continued the progress and the momentum of our city, to ensure that the progress that we all have worked so hard for is not only protected, but is accelerated and sustained, and move forward in a positive direction, so that it reaches more people and reaches more neighborhoods. "Mike Duggan and myself have not always agreed on what I think is most important is that when we disagree, we always came back to what mattered most, and that is our shared vision for the betterment of our residents in the city of Detroit." Duggan is leaving office after 12 years to run for Michigan governor as an independent. His endorsement comes at a crucial moment for the mayor, who is leaning on support across the state while confronting the Democratic party — which he identified with and supported for years — by jumping ship in a self-proclaimed attempt to bridge the partisan divide. However, Duggan has been met with opposition groups attempting to smear him by searching for emailed records, including vulgarities, along with personal expenses on the city's dime. Despite the switch-up, he has amassed more than $3 million in his latest campaign finance report. "Here's what I knew from the beginning, the most qualified person, the best prepared to be the next mayor, as Mary Sheffield," Duggan said. Duggan said that from the time Sheffield came on the city council, her first thing was to push for more home repairs. He made the statement as he, Sheffield and others stood outside a home on the city's west side. "We've now done more than 2000 roofs." The City Council president has touted her past work on passing legislation for inclusionary housing, property tax reform, home repair grant funding, neighborhood improvement funding and right to counsel, which provides free lawyers to low-income residents facing eviction. In response to the Duggan endorsement, Kinloch issued a statement of his own: "'Mayor Mike Duggan doesn't get the right to decide his successor. The voters in Detroit will determine the next Mayor in November. We don't have coronations. A mayoral endorsement won't stop the violence in our streets. It won't ensure a better education or create more opportunities for our children. After 12 years on the Detroit City Council — and 4 more as Council President — if you haven't fixed it by now, you're not going to. Detroit doesn't need recycled ideas or the same politics that have left too many neighborhoods behind. Detroit needs fresh leadership, with the courage to do what career politicians couldn't. "This campaign is about voters who want to see investment in neighborhoods, not just Downtown. They want a mayor who will make housing affordable for everyone, a leader who will attack poverty, and someone with a proven record of taking direct action to uplift our communities. We will win this election in the streets — door to door and block by block — to ensure that no one is left out of Detroit's continued growth.' This story is developing.

Chicago mayor says applicants for flood relief need not reveal if they're in the US illegally
During a news conference on Tuesday, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said it is not "necessary to disclose" if you are an illegal immigrant when applying for aid from flood damage. "We want to ensure that the residents of the communities that have been hit the hardest know that the full force of government will remain constant until families get full restoration," Johnson said during a news conference about recent flooding. At least five inches of heavy rain fell on parts of Chicago and northwest Indiana, causing flooding and delays. Johnson said that illegal immigrants need not worry about disclosing their status when applying for aid. "We also want to make sure that when you are filling out the survey, your documentation status is not necessary to disclose," Johnson said. "So this is for individuals who are residents or citizens, as well as undocumented individuals. That information will not be disclosed, so your status will be protected as the Welcoming City Ordinance permits." Chicago is a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants. In July, Johnson said that his city "will not ever cooperate with ICE." During the press conference, Johnson also said the city will have to plant more trees to combat climate change. "We will continue to see damaging flood incidents until there are some real structural changes and improvements to our infrastructure as a whole," Johnson said. "Second reason is climate change," Johnson added. "It means that Chicago's working-class communities are experiencing more and more frequent 100-year storms and extreme weather. We need to build more climate resilient infrastructure, plant more trees to absorb water, and modernize our infrastructure to account for this new reality."
