Detroit pastors expanding get-out-the-vote campaign ahead of city's mayoral election in November

A coalition of Detroit pastors says its members are expanding their get-out-the-vote efforts ahead of the city's November mayoral election.

City Council President Mary Sheffield and Pastor Solomon Kinloch are vying to replace outgoing mayor Mike Duggan.

The August primary drew only about 17% of the eligible voters in Detroit.

Al Williams leads Lift Every Voice and Vote Detroit. He admits motivating voters in the city is an issue.
