Darryl E. Buchanan is a politician, former City Administrator and City Ombudsman of the City of Flint, Michigan.
Early life
He was 18 years old in 1972, becoming a part of the first generation of 18-year-olds to vote in a presidential election.[2]
Political career
[2] He was elected to City Council in 2001 and re-elected in 2005. In February 2007, he won a recall election with 65% of the vote. In November 2009, he was appointed Flint City Administrator at the beginning of Mayor Don Williamson's second term.[3] He was removed as City Administrator days before Williamson's resignation as mayor and supposedly appointed to the nonexistent office of deputy mayor.[4] The Temporary Mayor Michael Brown reassigned him to be special projects director.[2] Buchanan then ran to fill the remainder of Williamson's term,[5] but lost in the May 5, 2009 primary.[6] Buchanan then ran for the First Ward Council seat, losing to his successor, Delrico Loyd in the November 3, 2009 General Election.[7] Running in the nonpartisan general primary on August 2, 2011 in his bid to oust current mayor Dayne Walling, Buchanan took second (2,668 votes, 24% to 2,434 votes, or 22% for Scott Smith) to face off with him in the general election in November.[8] On November 8, 2011, Mayor Dayne Walling defeated Buchanan 8,819 votes (56%) to 6,868 votes (44%).[9]
