Michigan Democratic Party Black Caucus Endorses Dr. Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate

MICHIGAN – Yesterday, the Michigan Democratic Party Black Caucus (MDPBC) announced their endorsement of Dr. Abdul El-Sayed for U.S., alongside the entire Michigan Democratic slate for the 2026 midterm elections. The MDPBC collectively represents the interests of Black members of the Michigan Democratic Party bysupporting party candidates while advocating for issues most pressing to Black communities across the state.

“Citing Abraham Lincoln’s warning that “a house divided against itself cannot stand,” Caucus leadership emphasized that Democrats must unite rather than fight yesterday’s primary battles while opponents organize for November,” the Michigan Democratic Party Black Caucus said in a statement. “The Caucus remains committed to advancing core priorities, including:Protecting voting and civil rights. Strengthening public education and healthcare. Creating jobs and protecting working families. Confronting the racial wealth gap through homeownership, entrepreneurship, and capital access.”

“The Michigan Democratic Party Black Caucus has been the backbone of our party for decades. Because nobody understands the risk of Trump’s agenda like Black leaders in Michigan do,” said Abdul. “I have worked my entire career in lockstep with the Black community to deliver public health successes for their neighborhoods, and I’m ready to do the same in the Senate. It’s critical we hold the line against Republicans’ efforts to gut the Voting Rights Act, ensure our elections are fair and accessible to every American, and seek to address the disparities in our society. I am honored to receive the MDPBC’s endorsement.”

The Michigan Democratic Party Black Caucus’s endorsement adds to a massive Democratic coalition looking to unify the party ahead of the November midterm elections, including former Vice President Kamala D. Harris, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Haley Stevens, State Senator Mallory McMorrow and over 300 elected officials, advocacy groups, and labor unions, including the UAW, Indivisible, the Working Families Party, National Nurses United, and more.
