.@JocelynBenson is running for Governor, but she doesn’t even know what Michiganders pay in taxes?
Jocelyn doesn’t know what the tax rate is, but she wants to make it more “equitable,” which is Democrat-speak for raising taxes.
By the way, it’s 4.25% since Democrats fought to raise it.

“Affordability” from Abdul means new taxes, new mandates, and a bigger federal bill.
Working people in Macomb and the U.P. are not asking for that.
Michigan Forward retweeted
Michigan spends more per pupil and still ranks near the bottom on income and attainment. Abdul’s answer: more of the same spending, same results.
PRESS RELEASE | @AbdulElSayed might have changed his tune, but his dangerous principles remain the same.

WOW!
@AbdulElSayed says POINT BLANK that he will pack the U.S. Supreme Court.
Could he be more extreme?
Unsurprisingly, @AbdulElSayed is running away from ANOTHER one of positions.
According to him, cars are “the modern day cigarette,” but on the debate stage he pretends to support them.
He’s selling snake oil.
.@AbdulElSayed in 2020: we need to defund the police.
Abdul now that he’s running for office:
This guy is a conman.
.@AbdulElSayed calls Obamacare an “incredible success”
Do you feel like your healthcare has been better under Obamacare? Did you get to keep your doctor and your insurance plan?
Have your costs gone down?
UAW members beware: @AbdulElSayed’s government-run healthcare scam means losing out on the quality healthcare you fought for.
PRESS RELEASE | @AbdulElSayed has spent every waking moment backtracking on more than a decade of absurd and insane statements in an effort to sell Michiganders a pie-in-the-sky agenda with no real solutions.

In case you missed the last showdown between @MikeRogersForMI and @AbdulElSayed, we’ve got you covered.
Ahead of tonight’s debate, watch this recap to see what you missed in the last one:
“When we asked for a comment, we didn’t like what they had to say, so we stopped asking and just decided to keep writing garbage.”
Fixed it for you, @MCmuckraker.
For the first time in @metrotimes history, we’re no longer seeking comment from a candidate’s campaign because of repeated lies and bigoted attacks. That candidate is Mike Rogers, whose campaign keeps targeting Abdul El-Sayed’s Muslim faith. metrotimes.com/news/mike-rog…

🔴House Republicans have put your priorities FIRST this term — fixing the roads, government accountability, rooting out waste, fraud, & abuse.
🔵But Senate Democrats insist on holding up other common-sense bills that we passed:
🚫Banning AI surveillance pricing that gouges consumers by watching what they buy
🏡Eliminating the state property tax and saving families $900 a year
🩺Helping Michigan families afford their healthcare and coverage through better price transparency and ending predatory debt collections.
📉Lowering monthly utility bills by refocusing on affordable & reliable energy, freezing rates for at least 2 years, erasing the last 3 years of rate hikes, and getting political activism funding OUT of our utility bills
The Michigan House was the ONLY state chamber in the nation to flip from 🟦Democrat to 🟥Republican in 2024.
We gave Democrats the opportunity to vote with the people countless times — and they threw it back in your face:
🗳️Michigan’s SAVE America Act (proof of citizenship to register, voter ID to vote, 80% nationwide support) / ZERO DEMOCRAT VOTES
❌Condemning socialism / All but ONE voted no
✂️Eliminating waste, fraud, & abuse / All but ONE voted no
⚖️Stronger penalties for sexual assault / MOST House Democrats voted no
🏃♀️Banning men from girls' sports / ZERO DEMOCRAT VOTES
🇺🇸Prominently displaying American flags in classrooms / MOST House Democrats voted no
🛑Stopping DNR/EGLE from entering private land without a warrant] / MOST House Democrats voted no
🍃Repealing the 100% green energy mandate that keeps driving up utility bills / All but ONE voted no
💡The HELP UP plan to eliminate the state property tax, lower and freeze monthly utility bills, erase three years of rate hikes, and save families $1,400 a year / All but ONE voted no
📵Getting cell phones out of the classroom / ZERO DEMOCRAT VOTES
🏅Honorable mention: Dems accidentally brought a bill to the floor banning DEI hiring practices in state offices. One Democrat still voted no after the rest tried to vote yes to cover the mistake.
Some bills the Dems fought the whole way, then lost. Cell phones out of the classroom is now law. So are the House Republican H.E.A.T. accountability and transparency reforms:
🚫Banning lawmakers from becoming lobbyists
🗓️45-day spending-item disclosure
🗣️An expressed purpose on spending items
🖊️The lawmaker’s and the recipient’s name on spending items
.@AbdulElSayed is pretending to be a real physician and @MCmuckraker is pretending to be a real journalist.
Mike Rogers falsely attacked Abdul El-Sayed on terrorism, breast cancer research, and gas-powered cars. Ahead of tonight’s debate, a Metro Times analysis examines those lies and the voting record his campaign pitch leaves out. metrotimes.com/news/mike-rog…
Oh, you’re saying the goal is intimidation? You’re saying it’s authoritarian to deter people from doing political work?
Wow, that sounds like exactly what you called for against young conservatives, @SenatorSlotkin.
Can’t wait for you to pretend to be a moderate again in 2030.
This is a previously undreamt of level of Democrat pandering from @AbdulElSayed.
He ordered fried chicken at this sit-down to win over black voters.
.@MichiganDems have pretty much all decided to learn the wrong lesson here.
They’re bashing @LonJohnson48226, saying he — the former chair of the Michigan Democratic Party — is not a real Democrat.
Maybe, just maybe, Lon is real Democrat, but you guys nominated an insane person to the United States Senate.
For me, the only dignified choice is to leave the Senate race blank—an undervote representing a rejection of ideological absolutism. This makes me no less a Democrat. I refuse to be complicit in excusing or accepting extremism to beat extremism. The madness has to stop somewhere.

There is a Michigander who can’t afford a mortgage? If there were people whose job it was to fix that…
Oh right, Democrats like @MaiXiongMI have run our state into the ground, and now she’s making fun of someone for not owning a home.
Maybe do your job, Representative.
