Some people see my name as a political liability. But to me, it’s always been a source of strength.

Some people see my name as a political liability. But to me, it’s always been a source of strength.
John, my name means “servant leader,” and when your name is Abdul El-Sayed, you take nothing for granted. Let me explain:
Growing up, I’d spend summers splitting my time between my grandmother, Teta Suad, in Egypt, and my grandma, Judy, here in the States. They couldn’t have a conversation if they wanted to, but when they kissed me on the forehead, it was the same love.
That experience showed me that across cultures, languages, or differences, love is the common thread.
In our politics today, love is rare. Corporate PACs have bought the loyalty of politicians who should be working for us.
And while they get richer, working people are left struggling to pay for the basics — groceries, rent, and healthcare.
This campaign is about rewriting that story and building a politics rooted in dignity, fairness, and love.
Passing Medicare for All so no one has to skip a doctor’s visit. Increasing wages so that one good job is enough. And making sure our taxpayer dollars go toward improving life here at home, not endless wars overseas.
But we can’t do this without you. Our campaign doesn’t take a dime from corporate PACs. We depend entirely on people like you to power this fight.
If you believe that someone with a name like mine belongs in the U.S. Senate — not because of what it means to me, but because of what it means for all of us — then please, contribute $10 toward our campaign today:
