DGA Launches Digital Ad Calling Out Mike Duggan for Corruption During Mackinac Policy Conference
DGA Launches Digital Ad Calling Out Mike Duggan for Corruption During Mackinac Policy Conference
Duggan “outed a confidential FBI informant and alerted a target of an ongoing investigation of bribery, extortion and fraud”
Today, as Mike Duggan continues to speak at the Mackinac Policy Conference, DGA Victory Fund is releasing a new digital ad highlighting just one episode in the long, corruption-riddled history during his time as mayor.
As Mayor of Detroit, Duggan came under fire for undermining a federal bribery investigation into one of his “closest allies,” City Councilman Andre Spivey, who was ultimately convicted for accepting bribes in Detroit’s infamous towing scandal and served time in federal prison.
Specifically, federal agents “linked Mayor Mike Duggan to a chain of events that outed a confidential FBI informant and alerted a target of an ongoing investigation of bribery, extortion and fraud,” according to the Detroit News.
“As Mayor, Mike Duggan put himself and his corrupt insiders first, including apparently trying to undermine a federal investigation into one of his closest political allies who went to prison for accepting bribes,” said DGA Communications Director Sam Newton. “Why did Duggan out the FBI informant? What was he afraid federal investigators would learn? Michiganders don’t need a corrupt mayor to be their next governor.”
