During his virtual event Wednesday, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Wayne County Executive Warren Evans and several community leaders endorsed the Detroit mayor in the video.

Last month, Alexis Wiley — the mayor's chief of staff — announced she would be stepping down to run Duggan's re-election campaign and start a public relations firm. Earlier this week, the mayor's office announced Trisha Stein would replace Wiley.

Duggan served as president and CEO of the Detroit Medical Center prior to becoming mayor.
