This is an open letter to Michigan’s U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin. You’ve dedicated your career to serving this country. You were a CIA analyst who served three tours in Iraq, alongside the U.S. military. https://www.slotkin.senate.gov/about/
You now serve on the Armed Services and the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committees. https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/
So please tell us how you can, in good conscience, back a dangerous man like Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate? The old saying, “You’re judged by the company you keep” is hitting frighteningly close to home. His birth mother worked for a designated terror organization. https://thenationaldesk.com/news/americas-news-now/abdul-el-sayeds-birth-mother-worked-for-designated-terror-group-iara-report-cair
Other family members of Abdul, including his half-sister and father-in-law, also have links to terrorist organizations. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/aug/24/editorial-terror-links-surrounding-abdul-el-sayed/?srsltid=AU7gw4WLNkWgBDYRROBJb-eXmSUPcRQomOhCj0uN5jk7fWSBDf1fmZ-I
El-Sayed has been campaigning and fundraising with extremist Hasan Piker, a man who said, “America deserved 9/11.” Even the New York Times is getting worried. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/17/us/politics/el-sayed-piker-terrorism-comments.html
You even told a gathering of the Midland County Democrats last month, “let me tell you there are plenty of things that I don’t agree with Abdul on,” https://www.npr.org/2026/09/03/nx-s1-5946840/abdul-el-sayed-michigan-senate-race
Senator Slotkin, what are you not telling the country? What have you been learning about El-Sayed in your top-secret National Security briefings? If you truly believed in Abdul, you and Senator Gary Peters would have already endorsed him by now. But neither one of you has, and we believe it’s because you both know just how dangerous and radical El-Sayed is. You know, if he won Peters’ Senate seat, our national security would be compromised.
This Senate race is bigger than party loyalty. You’ve worked in national security roles at the Pentagon and White House under both Republican and Democrat Presidents George W. Bush and Barak Obama. You know what’s at stake here.
Do the right thing Senator Slotkin. Denounce El-Sayed as too dangerous for Michigan, too dangerous for this country and endorse Mike Rogers for U.S. Senate.
Sincerely,
The Kalamazoo Republican Party
