Abdul El-Sayed upon winning the Michigan Democratic Primary on Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2026
The socialist extremist running for Senate in the state of Michigan has been cashing in: Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed launched his campaign for Senate, then immediately was put on a $9,000-a-month payroll as a “consultant” for Wayne County, where he previously worked.
The handout was approved by the Wayne County Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services under the leadership of Warren Evans, a Democrat running the county.
The contract was made official six days after El-Sayed launched his bid to move socialism into the U.S. Senate.
“The contract, which extended through the end of the calendar year, stipulated that El-Sayed would be paid at a monthly rate of $9,000 for 30 hours of work—which amounts to around $300 per hour,” explained a report by the Free Beacon, which obtained public records confirming the $9,000 in tax money given to him monthly.
He actually was approved for up to $72,000 for “consulting fees” for only eight months, the report said.
His job was to give “strategic support to the county in efforts to ensure smooth and effective leadership transition and aligning operational priorities.”

EL-Sayed already has faced tax questions, the report noted, over his alleged use of a loophole to avoid payroll and income taxes on money he got through an entity he created: AME Higher.
A spokeswoman for his campaign claimed El-Sayed was “improving services” in the county while his opponent, Mike Rogers, was “cashing checks from the same industries he used to regulate…”
“El-Sayed’s latest financial disclosure, which covers all of 2025 and the first seven months of 2026, shows that he paid himself a ‘salary’ of $64,000 and took an additional $103,000 as a ‘member draw’ from AME Higher. This is a common strategy used to avoid payroll taxes, because ‘member draws’ from S corporations are not taxed as regular income, accountants told the Free Beacon,” the report said.
The report noted he also collected more than $82,999 is “consulting” fees from One Health Partners, which is accused of buying medical practices and “exploiting Medicare” to boost revenue.
El-Sayed served as director of the Wayne County health department for two years.
