Abdul for U.S. Senate

I’m not taking a CENT of corporate money.

Ad copy

‼️ STOP SCROLLING: Did you hear that?? ‼️ I’m Abdul El-Sayed and I’m running for U.S. Senate in Michigan. I’m not taking a cent of corporate PAC money in this race – and let me tell you why. Money is corrupting American politics. It is buying politicians, selling our rights, and leaving us – the American people – poorer, sicker, and angrier. It is distorting reality and rigging the system. Michigan is poised to play an essential role in 2026, which means that corporate PACs will be pouring MILLIONS into my opponent’s race. I’m ready to take them on. Are you? Will you chip in whatever you can to keep our grassroots campaign going?
