Abdul El-Sayed is extremely qualified to be a USA Senator for the State of Michigan. Unfortunately the current Islamophobic ads spawned by Republicans were created to instill fear. They were made before the Democratic Primaries.
In the primaries Republicans crossed party lines and voted for a candidate whom they believed they could smear and win the election. The Republican candidate is white man. He is also PROVEN to be corrupt to the core. There is no way Michiganders should be voting for Mike Rogers and the RNC knows it. So does Trump. So, the Republicans set out to overwhelm Michiganders with lies and political smears about the Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed. He is absolutely a magnificent candidate and I am glad he won the primary. But, Democrats have to get out and walk the pavements of their neighborhoods and get him elected.
If Michiganders don't overwhelmingly elect his man they are only proving they believe the TV ads more than his resume.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is a physician, epidemiologist, public servant, and Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Michigan.
