Excerpt from article from the Detroit News on 6/20/01 -

As the deadline approached, attorney Geoffrey Fieger, who had been rumored as a mayoral candidate, strolled through the second floor of the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center. He walked past the city clerk's office, hugged Currie (the city clerk) and left.

It's not Fieger time in Detroit, he said.

"I am not going to enter into the race at this time, although I feel strongly about the issues in the city," Fieger said in a Wednesday story in The Detroit News. "It would require me to give up what I love the most, which is practicing law."

But Fieger did not rule out a run for governor in 2002.

"I ran for governor once, and I don't like to lose. I haven't left politics."
