John, I'll get right to it.
A poll released earlier this month has us leading by the thinnest of margins — just one point:
FABRIZIO/IMPACT (AARP) POLL
🔵 Abdul El-Sayed: 48%
🔴 Mike Rogers: 47%
⚫ Don’t Know: 5%
That’s not a great spot to be with less than nine weeks left. But it tells you something important: this seat is winnable.
It also explains why MAGA Republicans are throwing everything they have at us. The GOP's Senate Leadership Fund has already committed $51 million to flip this seat red — and even more could be coming if they sense any signs of weakness coming from our side. Let me explain:
- MAGA Republicans know that there’s virtually no path for Democrats to take back the Senate majority without Michigan. That’s why they’re already dropping millions of dollars on Mike Rogers.
- If we win here, we can flip the Senate blue. Lose, and Donald Trump and his MAGA base keep shoving through disastrous legislation with almost no check on his power.
- That’s why we need to see a massive surge in our grassroots fundraising leading up to our first FEC quarterly deadline since winning the general election. Once our FEC report is made public for everyone to see, MAGA Republicans will be making calls to decide their next move. I want us to look so strong that they tell Mike Rogers he’s a lost cause.
But we can’t do any of this without you, John. Our campaign is 100% people-powered. I’ve never solicited a corporate PAC contribution, and I never will.
We’re fully relying on folks like you to fuel our ads and voter outreach efforts, and your support today, before our first FEC quarterly deadline of the general election, would be hugely impactful in helping us win this November.
So, what do you say? Can you chip in $10 or anything today?

In solidarity,
Abdul
