Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Solomon Kinloch emphasizes expanding the tax base through development and leveraging private-public and philanthropic resources, seeks relief from specific local levies (notably the school debt millage and drainage-related fees), and prioritizes workforce development and housing to grow the middle class rather than proposing broad tax increases. He frames some targeted tax relief and fee relief as tools to ease burdens on Detroit residents.

Healthcare

Supports preserving and coordinating federal social-safety-net programs that provide healthcare access (including Medicaid) and prioritizes mental health services and programs that address food insecurity and homelessness. Plans to use the mayor’s office to coordinate philanthropic, corporate, and governmental resources to expand access to services and supports for Detroiters.

Immigration & Border

Solomon Kinloch opposes using city resources for immigration enforcement while indicating the city should coordinate with federal authorities when legally required; he emphasizes protecting human dignity and following existing protocols for cooperation. His public statements focus on prioritizing community trust and lawful cooperation rather than local-led immigration crackdowns.

Public Safety & Guns

Solomon Kinloch emphasizes public safety through stronger law-enforcement collaboration, expanded mental-health and community violence intervention services, and neighborhood revitalization, but he does not appear to have made specific, detailed public-policy commitments on firearm regulations such as background checks, assault-weapons bans, or red-flag laws in available campaign coverage and interviews.
