About Abdul

Abdul is running for US Senate because life in Michigan has become too hard — and too expensive. After a successful career of making government work for Michiganders, he wants to take the vision to Washington and make the United States Senate work for you. 

Abdul rebuilt a government agency to make it actually work — and then he did it again. He rebuilt Detroit's Health Department after bankruptcy and then he restructured Wayne County's Department of Health, Human & Veterans Services, serving 1.8 million Michiganders in the state’s largest and most diverse county. As a public servant, Abdul erased $700 million in medical debt for 300,000 Michiganders, secured free glasses for kids who needed them, removed lead from Detroit's elementary schools, took on Michigan's biggest polluters, and made life-saving Narcan universally accessible. His work earned him recognition as "Public Official of the Year" by the Michigan LCV and a spot on Crain’s Detroit Business 40 under 40 list.

Abdul is recognized nationwide as an expert on improving the American healthcare system. He is the author of Medicare for All: A Citizen's Guide, which explains how to build a healthcare system that guarantees high-quality, affordable healthcare for every American. And, he served on President Biden's Unity Task Force for Healthcare, helping craft policies that are lowering prescription drug prices today.

Abdul was born and raised in Southeast Michigan. He proudly attended public school and captained his high school football, wrestling, and lacrosse teams. Abdul was raised by his father Mohamed, an Egyptian immigrant, and his stepmom Jackie, whose family has lived in Gratiot County, Michigan since before the Civil War. He graduated from the University of Michigan with highest distinction and played on the Wolverine’s men’s lacrosse team. He earned his medical degree from Columbia University on an NIH-funded fellowship, and earned a second doctorate at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. 

Abdul lives in Ann Arbor with his wife, Sarah, and their two brilliant young daughters, Emmalee and Serene. He’s been a card-carrying union member of AFT Local 477 and 6244, SEIU Local 500, the National Writers Union, and the AAUP.
