## Key points

- Davis won nearly 84,000 votes in Detroit.
- Her six-year suspension bars her from serving until 2029.
- Some voters said they did not know about her record.

## Summary

Detroit voters elected Kahlilia Davis to the Michigan 36th District Court, although a six-year suspension means she cannot serve until 2029. The result has frustrated some voters who said they were unaware of her disciplinary record or that she would be barred from taking the bench.

Davis, 50, received almost 84,000 votes in the 3 November election. The Michigan Supreme Court suspended her in 2023 after finding pervasive misconduct, including misuse of contempt powers, dismissing potentially valid cases and tampering with courtroom recording equipment; she had already been suspended from the bench in 2020. A court ruling had kept her off the ballot in 2024, but she successfully challenged that decision.
