I live in Michigan. I cannot support Haley Stevens. I have a close friend whose daughter worked for Ms. Stevens. According to the daughter, Ms. Stevens has no redeeming qualities and is not good to her workers.
I know Ms. Stevens accepts AIPAC monies. That is disheartening.
I am supporting Abdul El-Sayed. I have been to Mr. El-Sayed’s presentations; fly specked his platform; and, his qualifications. In my opinion, Abdul is the real deal and should be the person elected to represent Michigan.
Here's the thing for me - I am looking to elect individuals who do not take PAC money, especially AIPAC and anything from Musk and all those ultra wealthy tech billionaires who hang around with Trump, and who denouce rhe genocide being inflicted on rhe Palestinians by Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir and their cruel racist cronies. Israel has plenty of its own money and resources so it doesn't need ours. It is an independent country that must stand on its own two feet; we don't support any other country as though it was our offspring like we do Israel. The money and resources being spent there should be redirected to support the poor and underpriveledged here. That being said, I supported two progressive (not radical) congressional democrats who had great platforms addressing our current problems in the primaries in my NY district to run against Mike Lawlyer. They did not take any PAC money, called what was happening in Gaza a genocide, and only raised $700-900K each. I did vote for the one who I felt was a little clearer about his platform than the other. Unfortunately they were up against Cait Conley, a former member of the Biden administration, who was not as progressive and took a ton of pack money, raising over 3 million. She won the primary. Although I am disappointed with her being the democratic candidate, the priority right at this moment is to get rid of Lawler, a Trump loyalist and sycophant, so I have to be realistic and vote for Conley this time to crush any MAGA incumbents and work harder the next go around to help those better progressive candidates raise money and gain more visibility. The goal right now is to vote out as many Republicans who support Trump and MAGA by voting for whatever democrat or progressive independent candidate can beat them in each district- once that's done, we can refine our success by incrementaly voting in more and more true progressives and democratic socialists with each election cycle.
Thank you, Slade. I know less about Stevens than I do the other two Democratic Senate candidates for Michigan, this will be helpful. I look forward to reading more about McMorrow and El-Sayed as well. Much appreciated!
I live in Michigan and am praying she does not get the nomination. She takes dirty money for contributions. She was booed by Michigan democrats when she spoke recently. I really hope she does not make it! We have a terrible candidate for governor next so Im praying Haley Stevens doesn't make it.

I encourage you to do more research into Abdul.
Thanks, Sherri. I haven't begun to research him, but soon will. Thank you.

I also support Abdul El-Sayed

The fact that Haley Steven's proudly takes AIPAC money and is a proud supporter of israel and by extension all that Israel does is a huge red flag.
