Force Multiplier: Meet Dr. Abdul El-Sayed
September 24 @ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is a physician and epidemiologist who was Director of Detroit’s Health Department, and Director and Health Officer of the Wayne County, MI Department of Health, Human & Veterans Services. In those roles, he secured free glasses for kids, removed lead from schools, expanded access to Narcan, and launched a program to cancel up to $700 million in medical debt. He also served on President Biden’s Unity Task Force for Healthcare, where he helped craft policies to reduce consumers’ prescription drug prices.
His opponent, Mike Rogers, has taken over $1 million in campaign contributions from the pharmaceutical industry over his career. In return, he has repeatedly voted against allowing Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices.
Abdul El-Sayed is running on a three-part economic message — getting money out of politics, lowering everyday costs, and passing Medicare for All.
We know that this primary season lifted up real disagreements within our party. We believe that retaking the Senate at this pivotal moment requires us to unite behind the candidates the voters have chosen, whether or not we agree with them on every issue. The stakes are too high.
For the health of our country, we need to help elect Dr. Abdul El-Sayed as the next Senator from Michigan.
He needs money now, a lot of it. We can help him.
