In District 2, old matchup returns — plus a newcomer

Zoom out: This district in the city's northwest includes the Livernois Avenue of Fashion, Renaissance High School, Palmer Park and Marygrove Conservancy.

Here's a snippet of what the candidates had to say about their runs in nonpartisan Citizen Detroit videos:

• Calloway, a retired public schools employee, wants to make sure every family feels included in Detroit's resurgence. She touted her cashless restaurant ban and said she'll keep fighting for stronger government oversight and investment in local businesses.
• McCalister, who has experience in the U.S. Army and Detroit Police Department, said his main objective is improving quality of life. He pointed to public safety, neighborhood revitalization and affordable housing. He'd fight blight and seek to give youth more opportunities.
• Scott, a longtime labor and social justice activist, said it's time for city leadership to fight with and for the residents, and that too many communities are "still struggling." She pointed to crime reduction without overpolicing, and the need for lower property taxes and more investment in entrepreneurs.
