Ken Snapp was kicking footballs for Detroit Cass Tech in 2012, now he is throwing in his bid to be mayor of the city. Snapp announced his decision on Facebook Friday in a release.

"Today I am humbled to announce my bid for Mayor of the City of Detroit. This decision comes with deepest concern for our city's resilient citizens on the heels of a tipping point for a seemingly better future. Detroiters are ready to embrace a progressive agenda with new progressive leadership that shows concern for every individual. Collectively we can move forward and evolve into a more inclusive community with a well thought out vision that incorporates all its citizens," his statement read.

Snapp, who is only 21, graduated from Cass Tech in 2013. He entered into politics shortly after, and now looks to be the youngest mayor in Detroit's storied history. His slogan is a catchy one, "Let's Snapp for change", and his campaign is aimed at helping those in 'forgotten' areas of the city with jobs, housing, food, education, child care, and health care.

In 2012, Snapp was apart of the 2012 Cass Tech football team that repeated as Division I state champions over Detroit Catholic Central. He kicked a 31-yard field goal in the game. He currently volunteers as Ronald Brown Academy on Detroit's east side as a middle school basketball coach.

Current Mayor Mike Duggan announced his re-election bid more than a week ago. A total of 15 people have petitioned to run for mayor. The deadline to apply is April 25. A primary will be held on August 8, with the election being November 7.
