Dr. Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI) is a Detroit doctor who became an activist when he saw the lead water crisis in Flint -- and the catastrophic failure of the state government to help.
Some of the progressive priorities he's running on include a higher minimum wage, universal pre-K, debt-free college, and Medicare For All single-payer healthcare, saying, "My administration will fight for a robust state-level single-payer program."
Abdul also supports ending the so-called “Right to Work” anti-union laws in Michigan. His main opponent is a piece of work -- a businessman who fought efforts to save puppies at one of his research labs. (We’re not kidding.) The primary is August 7.
