The City of Detroit says deputy city clerk Reuben Washington abused his authority by organizing part of the petition signature effort for City Clerk Janice Winfrey. Winfrey is running for Congress in Michigan’s 12th District. BridgeDetroit reports the city’s office of inspector general found that Washington used city resources during work hours to support Winfrey’s campaign. That’s a violation of the city charter and city ethics rules. Investigators reportedly found that Winfrey did nothing wrong. Winfrey is running against Shanelle Jackson, Kelly Garrett and incumbent Rashida Tlaib in the Aug. 2 Democratic primary.
