<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/flint" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Flint</a>, Michigan, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/democratic-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democrat</a> Mayor Sheldon Neeley does not have a bachelor’s degree in communications despite biographies claiming that he did for years on multiple official websites and a government document.</p>
<p>Numerous websites with Neeley&#8217;s biography claimed he graduated from Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU) with a bachelor’s degree in communications, but Fox News Digital <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/whitmer-backed-flint-michigan-mayor-lied-graduating-university" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reached out</a> to the university, and it confirmed Neeley only attended and never graduated. When asked about the phony claim, Neeley&#8217;s office deflected the blame to a staffer, and said he “has been clear from the beginning” about only receiving an associates degree from Delta College and studying for a time at SVSU.</p>
<p>“Any legislative biography that said otherwise was a compounded oversight made by a political staffer. Mayor Neeley has worked to set the record straight,” a spokesperson for the city said in a statement, <a href="https://www.abc12.com/news/flint-mayor-says-he-doesnt-have-degree-from-svsu-despite-biographies-that-claimed-he-does/article_a4ba9610-2ef0-11ed-a008-b7ae39a07e61.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to ABC 12 News.</p>
<p>Multiple official websites, including the city&#8217;s website for a time, falsely credited Neeley with a bachelor&#8217;s degree, and a Michigan House <a href="http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(c0bhgfvwkhd3pvzqe5yc3tuc))/documents/2019-2020/Journal/House/pdf/2019-HJ-11-07-107.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proclamation</a> honoring the former Democratic state legislator said that he earned a bachelor&#8217;s degree from SVSU. Local news outlets have also published Neeley’s false education information, Fox News reported.</p>
<p>The Michigan Economic Development Corporation <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220906193253/https://www.michiganbusiness.org/about-medc/executive-committee/mayor-sheldon-neeley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared</a> to <a href="https://www.michiganbusiness.org/about-medc/executive-committee/mayor-sheldon-neeley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revise</a> the false claim on its website Wednesday. Neeley serves on the executive committee for the corporation. Meanwhile, Neeley’s state legislator biography continues to <a href="https://www.billtrack50.com/legislatordetail/20908" target="_blank" rel="noopener">falsely describe</a> his educational achievements as of this article’s publishing. The organization <a href="https://urbancoremayors.org/our-mayors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Urban Core Mayors</a> and the <a href="https://cqrcengage.com/masb/app/person/46903?0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan Association of School Boards</a> also say Neeley graduated from SVSU with a bachelor’s degree in communications.</p>
<p>The Flint mayor is up for re-election in November and has received an endorsement from Michigan Democratic Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gretchen-whitmer-continues-to-brag-about-creating-25000-auto-jobs-but-thats-not-true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gretchen Whitmer</a>. “[T]here is no one that’s going to get it done better than Mayor Neeley. That’s why he needs a second term,” Whitmer <a href="https://nbc25news.com/news/local/gov-whitmer-endorses-sheldon-neeley-for-flint-mayor-re-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> of Neeley in May.</p>
<p>Neeley has risen through the ranks of the Michigan political world, beginning his career as a Flint city councilman for nine years before successfully running for state representative in 2014 and then for mayor of the long-beleaguered Michigan city in 2019. Democratic politics has also become a part of the Neeley family. His wife Cynthia took his seat as a state legislator after he resigned to become mayor.</p>
<p>Neeley will face former Flint Mayor Karen Weaver in November, who he defeated in the 2018 election.</p>
