Congressman John Conyers Jr will announce his endorsement of Benny Napoleon for Mayor

U.S. Representative
John Conyers, Jr.

The second longest serving United States Congressman, Congressman John Conyers, Jr. (D~Detroit), will endorse Benny N. Napoleon for Mayor of the city of Detroit. He will be joined at tomorrow’s announcement with Detroit clergy, leaders of labor and other Supporters.

Like Napoleon, Conyers stron gly believes that Detroit citizens’ right to democracy has been challenged and he is concerned about continued disinvestment in urban centers across America, especially  in his hometown of Detroit. Conyers specifically endorses Napoleon’s bold and comprehensive plan to economically revitalize Detroit’s neighborhoods.

The endorsement announcement will be Thursday, October 24 at 2 pm. at the Benny Napoleon for Mayor Campaign Headquarters, 2652 E. Jefferson, Detroit (in the Chene shopping plaza).

As a lifelong Detroit resident, Conyers has seen the rising crime and focus taken away from the
oity’s real core - its neighborhoods where most residents live. Napoleon’s Neighborhood Growîh
Strategy, coupled with his Five-Point 50-Percent Crime Reduction Plan, will aff'mn Detroit as a safe city; stabilize and revitalize the neighborhoods; develop economic anchors to create jobs, shopping and dining opportunities; build neighborhood public safety service centers and Fire/EMS superstations; and initiate other necessary resources.

Conyers Appeals to President Obama and State Officials to Restore Lighting to Highland Park

For Immediate Release

Date: Tuesday, October 11, 2011

Contact: Matthew Morgan – 202-226-5543

Conyers Appeals to President Obama and State Officials to Restore Lighting to Highland Park (WASHINGTON) – In response to reports that the City of Highland Park is losing most of its street lights to settle a debt owed to the local utility company, Congressman John Conyers, Jr. (D-Mich.) issued the following statement: “Today, I contacted Highland Park Mayor Hubert Yopp, and Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon, as well as the offices of President Obama and Governor Snyder to discuss this emergency matter.  As a result of these calls, I am joining with Mayor Yopp in his efforts to immediately seek federal and state funding to restore lighting to the city’s neighborhoods.   “With most of Highland Park’s street lights having been removed or slated to be removed by October 31 to resolve a debt owed to DTE Energy, the citizens of Highland Park are facing a severe safety crisis.  Everyone knows that most crimes occur in darkened neighborhoods.  And it is especially alarming that the street lights’ removal will be completed by Halloween, perhaps one of the most important days of the year to have lighting to prevent crime and mischief.” ###
