El-Sayed in the hot seat for another foreign rental property, nearly $300K in additional income
Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed released a new financial disclosure shortly before a primary debate on Monday night, revealing a foreign rental property in Dubai and close to $300,000 in additional outside income. The disclosure lands just a week before a closely fought primary against Rep Haley Stevens, and puts fresh scrutiny on El-Sayed's finances and transparency at a pivotal moment in the race.
The filing shows El-Sayed and his wife hold assets worth up to $2.1 million in total. During the debate, Stevens accused El-Sayed of withholding his full tax returns despite earning roughly $300,000 in outside income, and criticised him for promoting what she called "junk health care cures" through his podcast. The exchange formed part of a broader clash between the two rivals over financial transparency ahead of the primary vote.
