John, it's Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. I am so proud to be the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan. And now, our general election campaign officially begins.

I know firsthand how fragile our democracy is

Colin Allred here, John. Our country’s 250th birthday took place last month on July 4th – a moment for us not only to celebrate our great nation with our family and friends, but also to remember just how fragile our democracy is. I’m talking about what happened on January 6th, 2021, when a cro…

Could you give me a hand?

John, it's Colin Allred, and I'm personally asking you to donate $5 to help me win my general election in November. This seat was one of a handful of districts purposely gerrymandered by the Texas GOP to ensure Republicans hold on to control of Congress. But with your support, we can keep our momen…

This is despicable

John, I’m both devastated and outraged that I have to write this. Trump and the GOP have been letting ICE run rampant throughout communities all across the country. More than 52 people have died in ICE custody since Trump was inaugurated, and 23 have been shot by federal immigration agents.  Now, …

Thank you, John

John, after meeting our end-of-month fundraising goal last night, I wanted to take a moment to thank you. Because of folks like you who stepped up in support of this campaign, we're that much closer to bringing real change to families in TX-33 – and for that, I couldn't be more grateful. Havin…
