| MI Democrat candidate for Senate - a doctor who doesn't practise medicine |
| 2026-05-14 |
| [MSN] Michigan Democratic Senate hopeful Abdul el Sayed frequently touts his credentials as a physician, though records indicate he has little history practicing medicine. State medical licensing records in both Michigan and New York do not show Abdul el Sayed ever holding a physician’s license in either state, according to a new report from Politico. Throughout the campaign, el Sayed has frequently leaned on his medical background as a central part of his political identity, regularly emphasizing his medical training and allowing introductions referring to him as a physician to go unchallenged. During an April television interview, he repeatedly referenced his experience as a physician, and in earlier appearances that year, he described firsthand experience in medical emergencies and portrayed medicine as the defining profession of his career. Michigan law bars individuals from representing themselves in a way that would lead others to believe they are licensed or authorized to practice medicine if they do not hold a valid medical license. The primary is Aug 4 and El Sayed is one of three candidates with substantial backing. El Sayed is backed by Hassan (the fall of the Soviet Union was a tragedy) Piker |
