KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed and U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin held a rally at Western Michigan University’s Miller Auditorium last night as they urge people to vote on or before Tuesday.
El-Sayed says costs have risen far too much for Americans, and “it shouldn’t be this hard to buy a second bag of groceries,” or see a doctor and pay your taxes without that money being spent to drop bombs on other people.
Slotkin added the election is pivotal for Democratic Party candidates and asks, with Donald Trump as President, “are you on team fight or are you on team flight?”
El-Sayed said they “don’t want our hard work exploited by a billionaire from New York.”
Republican U.S. Senate nominee Mike Rogers also campaigned in west Michigan Thursday.
Rogers campaigned in Plainwell and Portage, calling Michigan’s Senate election the most important race in the country right now.
Rogers said he is facing “the most radical, most extreme candidate” in the nation in Democrat Abdul El-Sayed.
In Plainwell, he again tried to tie the former Wayne County health director to the Muslim Brotherhood, saying with no evidence that Democrats “are starting to walk away” from El-Sayed because of those alleged ties.
Rogers was joined in Plainwell by Republican Attorney General nominee Doug Lloyd, U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright and Montana U.S. Senator Tim Sheehy and in Kalamazoo by state House Speaker Matt Hall and Congressman Tim Walberg.
The most recent polls show El-Sayed with a lead over Rogers as the election approaches.
