Now I have decided to take the next step. On Monday, May 12, I will announce my candidacy for Michigan's 13th Congressional District, representing Detroit, Ecorse, the Grosse Pointes, Harper Woods, Lincoln Park, River Rouge, and Wyandotte. I want to take my fight to protect our most vulnerable citizens, to create world-class educational facilities, and to see that all citizens are given fair and equal treatment to our nation's Capitol.
Ex-state Rep. Mary Waters had previously announced that she planned to run in the same race. Kilpatrick hasn't faced serious opposition since she was elected to Congress in 1996.
