Detroit mayoral candidate hit with $168,000 in liens since 2011, public records show
The Rev. Solomon Kinloch Jr., who announced his campaign Wednesday to become Detroit's next mayor, has a history of accumulating state, federal and other liens that amount to slightly over $168,000, according to public records.
The public documents show at least nine liens were placed against Kinloch, 51, between 2006 and 2022. Most of the liens were placed for being late paying taxes, most often state income taxes. He also had liens placed for being late in paying homeowner association fees connected to an Oakland County home where the Triumph Church pastor lived for more than a decade.
A lien is a claim against a property to secure payment of an overdue debt. Public records also show that Kinloch has paid off all of the liens, one as recently as last year.
"Pastor Kinloch has had tax bills in the past, and they were paid in full and resolved," Kinloch's campaign said in Thursday email. "He has shared in his story and being transparent about his journey, he did not come from power and privilege and this is a real-life example of the ups and downs he’s experienced."
