Interactive: Pick your Detroit school board candidates

October 12, 2026

BridgeDetroit has created an interactive graphic to help voters navigate the upcoming November Detroit school board elections. The resource compiles information about all candidates running in two school board races, including links to their campaign websites, endorsements, interviews, and video content from various local organizations. Not all candidates have complete information available because some chose not to participate in interviews with media partners like Chalkbeat, BridgeDetroit, CitizenDetroit, and 482Forward.
