Hi John,
A national magazine, The American Prospect, just called our race “the most interesting primary of 2026.”
They argue it’s because this primary is forcing a real question about who the Democratic Party is going to be, and who it’s willing to fight for — and I fully agree with that take.
My opponents represent two very different visions of what the Democratic Party should be:
And then there's us.
We're fighting to stop taxpayer dollars from funding genocide in Gaza. We’re fighting for Medicare for All. For empowered unions and strong anti-monopoly enforcement. For a Democratic Party that actually stands for something concrete instead of running away from our values.
And I’m the only candidate in this race who has never, and will never, take money from corporate PACs. That means my name’s not listed on charts like this. 👇
It also means you can trust that I’m fully focused on making life better for working people. There are no billionaire donors or corporate PAC managers I need to check in with before posting online, meeting with Michiganders, or talking about the issues that matter most to us.
This approach is working.
Depending on the poll, we’re basically tied up for first place. With the right resources, we can reach more voters, organize more communities, and make the case that a Democratic Party grounded in moral clarity and economic justice can actually win here in Michigan and beyond.
The only obstacle standing in our way is the millions of dollars that AIPAC and corporate interests will likely use to try to drown us out and boost their preferred candidate to victory.
I know not everyone can donate, but if you’re able to today, it could be the difference between winning and losing this primary. John, chip in $25, $10, or any amount to fuel our campaign:
Your friend in the fight,
Abdul
