The United Auto Workers has endorsed progressive Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s U.S. Senate race.

“UAW members in Michigan want a fighter in Washington, D.C. who isn’t afraid to push forward a strong working-class agenda with moral clarity,” the union said in a statement released Friday. “Having never taken a dime from corporate PACs, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is someone we can trust to have our backs, including when we need it most – like come May Day 2028.

“From Medicare for All to banning stock buybacks, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is ready, eager, and well-equipped to move our core issues in the U.S. Senate.”

El-Sayed said in a statement that he was “deeply honored and proud to have earned the support of the UAW.”
