READY ON DAY ONE

Thank you, Detroit. Every voice matters, and I’m committed to representing all Detroiters, regardless of how you voted. We’re not wasting a minute. We’re ready to get to work and to create a pathway forward that lifts every neighborhood and every family.

Let’s get started — the Detroit way forward begins now. Together, we can make Detroit work for all of us.

An open door to every Detroiter — a transition guided by community, built on collaboration.

Rise Higher Detroit is the official transition initiative of Mayor-elect Mary Sheffield, bringing together residents, community leaders, and partners from every neighborhood to help shape the next chapter of Detroit’s story.

We are launching the boldest and most community-centered transition Detroit has ever seen, one guided by the same values that have defined Mayor-elect Mary Sheffield’s leadership: collaboration, equity, and opportunity for all.

This transition is about partnership. As we chart Detroit’s way forward, we want to hear from you — your ideas, your experiences, your hopes for our city.
