Abdul El-Sayed

thumb|He knows my name is Abdul. He says it everyday. But he’s not just attacking me. He’s attacking all of us. He thinks so low of us. He thinks he can use my name and my faith to distract us from the suffering his policies are inflicting on us at the pump, at the grocery store, and at the doctor’s office. He thinks we don’t know any better. It’s time for change.|200px Abdul El-Sayed (Rochester Hills, Michigan, 31 October 1984) is an American politician and epidemiologist who is the Democratic nominee in the 2026 United States Senate election in Michigan.

I remember reading this verse with my father as a boy: "How great," I thought, "would it be then to save a life every day?" Quick to share my thoughts with Baba, I told him that I wanted to be a doctor when I grew up. My father, a professor, thought for a moment, and reasoned, "Abdulrahman, wouldn’t it be better to learn why people die, and then teach everyone around you to save lives? Wouldn’t that save more lives?" His reasoning stuck; but so did mine.

Like any true Michigan man, I'm always eager to spread the good word about Michigan. The Michigan difference is us, the students. It's in the diversity of names, faces, stories and experiences with which we decorate this great place. It's in the time that we spent in self-assessment, self-improvement and thoughts. It's in the questions that we've asked, and those that we've answered. It's the care we've shown, the people we've helped and the passion that we have that defines us. Moreover, it's the fact that we're about to go out into a world that absolutely needs us. It needs to hear our story loudly, to consider our opinions and to engage us in discussion. It needs us to ask it questions. To answer when it beckons. To show that we care, and to give it mercy, compassion and love. It needs us to help those less fortunate. But most of all, it needs us to spread that contagious, Michigan passion that has come to define us. It's that we have the audacity to believe that we can change this world and that each of us will. That, my fellow graduates, Univesity of Michigan Class of 2007, is the Michigan difference, and I'm humbled to have been a part of it, with you. Quotes about Abdul El-Sayed Mohammed El-Sayed is a terrible Candidate for the Dumocrats. While his opponent, Mike Rogers, is an extremely good one, Mohammed goes back to the days of the Jihad. He is a RADICAL Extremist, Terrorist Sympathizer, and no different from his best friend, America Hating Hasan Piker. How’s France doing? Mohammed’s Values are not exactly those of Michiganders, or those of our Great United States of America! He is WRONG for Michigan, and WRONG for America. VOTE FOR MIKE ROGERS — HE HAS MY COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT, AND WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J.
