Detroit Young Professionals holding town halls for young voters

Detroit Young Professionals are putting together three town hall meetings with the three mayoral candidates for the upcoming election. Freeman Hendrix, Mayor Ken Cockrel, Jr., and Dave Bing will join you for an evening to answer your questions.
