Sonya Mays: Although there will no doubt be a loud contingent strongly opposed to Mays because of her affiliation with Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr, her experience with both finance and business, as well as in the non-profit sector are strong reasons to recommend her. Plus Mays is the daughter of a DPS teacher and a graduate of DPS, which will provide some necessary cover to  defend against detractors. Mays’s record clearly shows her commitment has always been for the betterment of Detroit, even if her choices weren’t in line with others who disagreed with that path. Bottom line, her depth of relevant experience makes her an obvious contender.
