MI-SEN: El-Sayed submits signatures in US Senate campaign

Former Wayne County Health Director Dr. Abdul El-Sayed on Tuesday became the third Michigan Democrat to submit nominating petition signatures in a campaign for U.S. Senate.

El-Sayed is part of what’s largely a three-way primary battle between himself, Congresswoman Haley Stevens (D-MI 11), and state Senator Mallory McMorrow (D-Royal Oak) for the Democratic Senate nomination.

He’s running with the endorsement of Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and has taken more progressive stances, like supporting Medicare for All and restrictions on corporate political giving.

El-Sayed said he’s more focused on speaking to people’s frustrations with government than political labels.
