DETROIT, MI—The Working Families Party has announced its endorsement of Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate in Michigan.

This endorsement follows the Working Families Party’s recent string of victories in competitive Congressional primaries, including Chris Rabb in PA-3, Bob Brooks in PA-7, and Analilia Mejia in NJ-11.

“As a working-class political party, we’re proud to support Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate,” said Maurice Mitchell, National Director of the Working Families Party. “Abdul has dedicated his career to making government work for regular people and fighting to improve our broken health care system. He’s not afraid to stand up to Donald Trump, Elon Musk, or any of the greedy billionaires screwing over our communities. We’re excited to work with Abdul to win Medicare for All, create good union jobs, and end the influence of big money in politics.”

“The Working Families Party and our campaign are fundamentally built around the same political projects,” said Abdul El-Sayed, candidate for U.S. Senate. “Finding and keeping a good job, guaranteed healthcare, being able to afford a home, having the freedom to spend time with your family—the Working Families Party understands that these principles aren’t radical. They’re the baseline for a more equitable Michigan and America. Their endorsement shows that we’ve built a campaign centered around championing the working class, and I’m honored to receive it. “

“Michiganders deserve a Senator who will stand up to the corporate CEOs getting rich off the cost of living crisis,” said Jess Newman, Director of Policy and Politics at United for Respect and Michigan WFP leader. “Abdul is the only candidate in the race who has always rejected corporate PAC money. We can trust him to stand on the side of workers, not their billionaire bosses.”

In recent races, WFP support has ranged from activating volunteers in the field, providing strategic support to campaigns, and doing paid digital and TV. In our Congressional wins in Pennsylvania, the party organized its members and partners to knock on over 100,000 doors and spent seven-figures on the IE side on cable, broadcast, and digital ads.
