Английская Википедия:2005 Detroit mayoral election
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox election Шаблон:ElectionsMI The Detroit mayoral election of 2005 took place on November 8, 2005.[1] It saw the reelection of incumbent mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to a second term.
Background
In 2001, Kwame Kilpatrick, at the age of 31, became the youngest mayor ever elected in Detroit.[2]
In 2005, Kilpatrick, now seeking reelection to a second term as mayor, found himself the subject numerous scandals, had faced budget deficits as mayor, and had faced a poor city economy.[2]
Among the scandals Kilpatrick faced were allegations that he had used city funds to enrich himself and his family.[3]
Candidates

Campaigning
In the general election, polls and media coverage showed Freman Hendrix to be the frontrunner, leading over the embattled Kilpatrick.[2] Hendrix promised to both restore dignity to the office of mayor, which he faulted Kilpatrick with having eroded, and prosperity back to the city at large.[2]
Many political pundits saw Kilpatrick as a weakened incumbent. He had become the first incumbent to place second in a mayoral primary in Detroit.[4][5]
Amid his reelection campaign, Kilpatrick made an appearance delivering an eulogy at the highly-covered funeral of Rosa Parks, held shortly before the general election. This was seen as helpful to his reelection.[2] Kilpatrick was also able to garner strong support from younger voters.[2]
