This week on Bankole’s Nation, journalist Bankole Thompsoninterviews Lindsey McAdory, the campaign manager for Rev.Solomon Kinloch Jr.’s bid to become the next mayor of Detroit.  McAdory, a national campaign strategist who has led 87 successful political and issue-based campaigns and was most recently behind the victory of Randall Woodfin, the mayor of Birmingham, Alabama, discusses the path tovictory for Kinloch in Detroit. In the interview, McAdory explains how the Kinloch campaign is running an aggressive grassroots effort to reach voters who are typically not excited to vote for politicians with a message centered around poverty and economicinequality.Citing Kinloch as anti-establishment, McAdory says the campaign isn’t seeking media endorsement or major corporate backing because the most important endorsement, according to him, is the many Detroiters they meet on the campaign trail, whose lives reflect that the city’s recovery has not yet reached its most vulnerable communities.He also discusses what he considers the negatives of Kinloch’s general election opponent, Mary Sheffield, the president of the Detroit City Council.
