Abdul El-Sayed's Campaign Paid Detroit Pastor $75,000 for Endorsement
Abdul El-Sayed, a Michigan Senate candidate, has been promoting an endorsement from influential Detroit pastor Horace Sheffield III. However, El-Sayed's campaign has paid $75,000 to Sheffield's nonprofit for 'political consulting,' with no disclosure of the financial relationship during Sheffield's endorsements. This arrangement echoes a similar controversy involving Kamala Harris and Al Sharpton. Sheffield has previously been suspended for endorsing candidates without disclosing financial ties.3 sourcesSee all sources
