MEET JERMAINE 

Progressive Leadership to Move Detroit Forward

I’m a lifelong Detroiter. This city has been my home since the day I was born, and I’ve never lost faith in its resilience or its people.

Growing up in Southwest Detroit, I learned early what it means to carry responsibility and push forward without a safety net. Raised by my grandmother in the Clinton Street Greater Bethlehem Temple, I was taught to look out for others, stand up for what’s right, and protect the most vulnerable in our community. Those values still guide me today.

My path hasn’t been easy, but it’s shaped who I am. I earned my GED through Detroit Public Schools, went on to receive an associate degree from Wayne County Community College District, and later earned my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Western Governors University. My education gave me the tools to understand systems — but my lived experience taught me where those systems fall short.

I’ve worked in both union and non-union environments, and I’ve seen the difference firsthand. I know what it looks like when workers are respected — and when they’re not. That’s why I believe strongly in empowering workers and ensuring everyone has access to fair wages, safe conditions, and real economic opportunity.

I’m running for office because too many people are doing everything right and still being left behind. Hard work should be enough to build a stable life — but right now, it isn’t. We need leadership that doesn’t just talk about change, but actually delivers it.

My vision is a Detroit where working families can thrive — where housing is affordable, jobs pay a living wage, neighborhoods are safe, and opportunity isn’t determined by your zip code. A city where government works for the people it’s supposed to serve.

This campaign isn’t about politics as usual. It’s about building something better — together.
