Melvin "Butch" Hollowell said Mayor-elect Mary Sheffield's transition team would be the "most community-driven" in Detroit's history.

Detroit residents have their final chance today to vote for the successor to longtime Mayor Mike Duggan. The three-term mayor opted to not run again and instead is campaigning as an independent for governor of Michigan.

Mary Sheffield has already made history during her career in public service, and will set another benchmark as the first woman to serve as Detroit's mayor. Sheffield will take office Jan. 1, having won her seat resoundingly both during the August primary and Tuesday's general election.
