Abdul El-Sayed canceled $700 million in medical debt for 300,000 Michiganders before ever holding elected office. Now he's running for Senate against the most expensive lobby-funded machine in any Democratic primary in America, powered by people, not dark money PACs.

A Michigan kid who became a Rhodes Scholar, then came home to rebuild Detroit's Health Department out of bankruptcy. He got free glasses to kids, pulled lead out of schools, took on corporate polluters, and canceled up to $700 million in medical debt for 300,000 Michiganders. He's spent his career making government actually work for people. Now he wants to make Washington do the same.

Abdul studied medicine and realized it was broken politics making people sick. He will fight for Medicare for All, because no one should ration insulin in the richest country on earth.
This is not a promise. It is a receipt. As a county health leader, Abdul spearheaded a program wiping out up to $700 million in medical debt for 300,000 Michiganders. Imagine what he does with a Senate seat.
Life in Michigan shouldn't be this hard or this expensive. Abdul's economics start with the people doing everything right and still falling behind, not the billionaires doing just fine.
Abdul is the only candidate in this race backing public ownership of AI, and the first anywhere to propose public control. His data-center rules demand local jobs, no utility rate hikes on families, and real environmental protection.
Abdul measures policy in human lives, not lobbyist checks. He has been unafraid to say what most Democratic voters already believe. Our tax dollars should build schools and hospitals here, not bankroll atrocities abroad.
They have the super PACs and the dark money. We have Michigan. Help send a doctor who can't be bought to the U.S. Senate.
