Meet Your 2013 Wyandotte Political Candidates

Wyandotte's assessor, city clerk, City Council, mayor and treasurer will be decided May 7.

About 60 people came out to the Copeland Center on March 6 to hear from the 15 people running for local office.

The candidates were each given 5 minutes to talk about their campaign. Questions weren't taken from the crowd, but attendees mingled with the candidates afterward to chat.

The Garfield and McKinley Neighbors United Neighborhood Groups sponsored the event.
