Milton said the great thing about El-Sayed is that he is not new to Detroiters and that enthusiasm grows as people learn his background.

“They're very curious about Abdul. They see a lot of him on social media, in the media, national media as well. And so it has raised eyebrows and a lot of curiosity around who this guy is.”

Milton said voters are very curious about El-Sayed after seeing him on social media and national media.

“I think so often we take for granted the fact that many of the voters are informed voters, all of them are informed voters, and so it's not just the fact that Obama supported him, thus I'm going to vote for Abdul. A lot of folks are doing their own research,”

Milton said many voters are informed and do their own research rather than voting for El-Sayed simply because Obama supports him.

“He has been very active in getting out into the community. In fact, tomorrow we have a public meeting with Abdul at our church. Where he will be speaking to the community around, you know, the issues that he stands on and stands firm on.”
