“Violence intervention isn't the responsibility of just one group. But if I had to choose who should be most responsible, I’d say it starts at home with family and then a broader partnership, with community and police,” Craig wrote in response to Outlier Media’s candidate questionnaire.

“Families and neighbors are also on the front lines. When communities are strong, when people care and watch out for one another, crime drops.”

Craig said the city should not dedicate resources to immigration enforcement but should cooperate with federal officials when there is a valid warrant for a specific individual.

“Detroit should remain a welcoming city to legal immigrants who contribute to our community,” he wrote. “At the same time, I support working with federal authorities to address illegal immigrants who commit violent crimes. Public safety must come first, while treating all people with dignity and fairness.”

“It’s a valuable tool for ensuring that large-scale developments contribute positively to our neighborhoods. I support its goal of fostering community engagement and delivering tangible benefits,” Craig wrote.

“However, to maintain Detroit’s appeal to developers and ensure projects proceed smoothly, we must strike a balance that supports both community interests and economic growth.”
