Nagi Almudhegi: Unprepared & Unstable

The slick campaign slogans hide a dangerous reality. A record of inexperience, financial crisis, and empty promises reveals a candidate who is a threat to Dearborn's future.

Nagi Almudhegi

A Record of Zero Experience

  • • An engineering degree is not a license to run a city. No training in public administration or city budgets.
  • • Zero time in elected office. Zero experience managing a city. A first-time candidate gambling with Dearborn's future.

A Recipe for Disaster

Dearborn’s $500M budget is not a sandbox for an amateur. Inexperience doesn’t just lead to failed promises—it leads to catastrophe.

Empty Promises & Broken Math

He's making million-dollar promises he can't keep. The math is a fantasy. His plan to pay for it all? A publicity stunt.

Spending he vows

  • $1,000,000 internships
  • $500,000 senior support
  • 2–5 more officers + gear

Offset he claims

25% cut to mayor’s salary and vague “office trimming.” Nowhere near enough.

Hard reality

Political cuts don’t pay recurring bills. Either taxes rise or services fall. He hasn’t shown which.

A Dangerous Gamble on Public Safety

  • • Tough-guy talk on enforcement without a shred of a plan.
  • • Vague promises of patrols and fixes with no budget or operational strategy.

The Dangerous Reality

This isn't leadership; it's a reckless gamble with our safety. He has no plan, no budget, and no experience in law enforcement. These are empty, dangerous slogans.

Financial Crisis: Foreclosure on His Own Home

How can he manage a city budget when he can’t manage his own finances? Public records confirm Nagi Almudhegi’s own home—his official campaign address at 15245 Prospect St—is in foreclosure and scheduled for auction on Sept 25, 2025. This isn't a smear; it's a documented financial crisis.
