Detroit Election Trail Mix: Still thinking about that debate

• Yesterday, we gave you some substance on Monday night's Local 4 mayoral debate. Now, we're sharing some of the fireworks moments we're still thinking about.

Jenkins' zingers: Former nonprofit CEO Saunteel Jenkins critiqued the debate's other candidates in her closing statement, saying: "The choice is clear. If you want a future that includes more guns in schools, locking up our kids, Craig is your guy. If you want a part-time mayor who's working two full-time jobs, (the Rev. Solomon Kinloch Jr.) is ready. If you want a mayor who shows up on Instagram but doesn't show up for meetings, then follow (City Council President Mary Sheffield)."

• Craig's "gloves" comment came after this, though he added, "I'm OK with that."
• In his closing statement after Jenkins, Kinloch also addressed it, saying: "Some of my opponents tonight evidently have forgotten that construction does not happen by destruction, that you cannot build yourself up by tearing other people down."
• Jenkins told media after the event, "You can be nice and tough."

Plus, answering a question about what has held back Detroit's public schools, Craig took a shot at superintendent Nikolai Vitti, saying, "When I came in as police chief, if I'd performed like the superintendent's been performing, in six months I would've been fired."

• But he also committed to working with Vitti.

In two other pieces of mayoral race news:

• City Council Member Fred Durhal III released an extensive economic growth-focused policy platform on Monday. Read in BridgeDetroit about Durhal's plan for an anti-blight "accountability tax" and homeowner property tax savings.
• Kinloch earned the endorsement of Michigan's 12th Congressional District Democratic Party, which includes west side Detroit neighborhoods.
