Detroit Regional Chamber Statement on Political Rhetoric About Detroit Ahead of the 2024 General Election

Detroit is now part of the heated political rhetoric as the 2024 election comes toward a close. We welcome the attention and the opportunity to further highlight the historic transformation taking place in our city, region, and state over the past decade and more.

National and international media have not only celebrated Detroit’s revival, but Detroiters have been celebrated for the way we are doing it together – from all walks of life, business, philanthropy, and government leaders (of both parties) united in a shared vision to accomplish the great things we have and the work yet to come.

Detroit’s story is America’s story, offering an example of resilience, perseverance, and success against the odds. It is a fundamental fact that Detroit and Michigan are on the right track, and the best is yet to come.
