I debated an empty podium

Last night, I debated alone. Mike Rogers was too chicken to show up.

Abdul El-Sayed at last night's debate.

I answered questions about the issues Michiganders want their next senator to tackle. Everything centered around our campaign’s three core goals: getting money out of politics, putting more money in your pockets, and passing Medicare for All.

Mike Rogers’ answer to these important questions was an empty podium. That speaks for itself.

But here’s something that should worry us, Jason: Mike Rogers knows he doesn't have to show up if his billionaire buddies can buy this seat for him instead. 

And right now, we’re seeing an unfathomable amount of spending by top MAGA donors to boost his campaign — including money from Trump and Elon-backed Super PACs.

I know we have the winning message. I know we have the broad coalition to unify Michigan in November. All that stands in the way of us winning is a mountain of MAGA cash. 

This team has moved mountains before, so I know I can count on you to do it again.

Please, pitch in $10 or whatever you can to my campaign and Colin Allred's to help us capitalize on the momentum following our first debate of the general election:

Your friend in the fight,
