WHY I'M RUNNING

Friend,

This movement is about a politics of purpose. I am driven by a core belief in Michigan’s people - our potential and the promise of our future. I was born and raised in Michigan. I wore the winged helmet as a lacrosse player at the University of Michigan. There I met the love of my life, Sarah. At 30, I was appointed to rebuild the Detroit Health Department after it was shuttered when Detroit faced bankruptcy. As a doctor, an educator, and a public servant, my work and my life has always been about creating opportunities for real people.

I am running for Governor because I believe we will come together right now because of our shared future.

I appreciate you,

Abdul El-Sayed
