NEW: Congressional Black Caucus PAC Endorses Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate

CBCPAC Chair Congressman Meeks: “Dr. El-Sayed helped increase healthcare access and outcomes for thousands of Black Michiganders.” 

MICHIGAN – Today, the Congressional Black Caucus PAC announced their endorsement of Dr. Abdul El-Sayed for US Senate. CBCPAC collectively represents the interests of Black members of Congress by supporting candidates who advocate for issues most pressing to Black communities across the nation.

“As head of the Detroit and Wayne County health departments, Dr. El-Sayed helped increase healthcare access and outcomes for thousands of Black Michiganders. He’s running to take on corruption and make life more affordable while his opponent Mike Rogers will be nothing but a rubber stamp for Donald Trump’s price hikes that are hurting Black communities across the nation,” said Congressional Black Caucus PAC Chair Congressman Gregory Meeks. “CBCPAC will fight alongside Abdul to build a coalition to beat Mike Rogers and get a majority in the United States Senate that can bring down costs for all Michiganders.”

“Michigan’s Black communities have shaped our state’s history and powered progress on economic justice, democracy, and health. But too often Black Michiganders have not received the investment they deserve,” said Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. “Serving Detroit and Wayne County taught me that public service requires showing up and listening and then doing what you said you would do, a commitment I’ll carry with me to the US Senate. It is an honor to earn the endorsement of the CBCPAC, whose members have led the fight to protect voting rights and expand economic opportunity. I look forward to working with members to ensure every community has the resources needed to thrive.”

CBCPAC’s endorsement adds to a growing Democratic coalition backing Abdul and unifying the party ahead of the November midterms 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, Michigan AFL-CIO, Indivisible, the Working Families Party, National Nurses United, and more.
