Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, will sit for a live, unedited interview with journalists Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos in Holland on Sunday, October 25. Doors open at 1:30 p.m., the interview begins at 3 p.m., and a campaign event follows.
The campaign is keeping the venue private until closer to the date. Anyone who RSVPs on the campaign's Mobilize page will receive the address. An RSVP or physical ticket is required, and admission is first come, first served until capacity is reached. The campaign reserves the right to refuse entry.
Jorge Ramos is the former longtime Univision anchor who spent nearly four decades as one of the most recognized voices in Spanish-language news in the United States. Paola Ramos, his daughter, is a journalist and author whose work examines Latino communities and politics. The event is being promoted in English and Spanish.
El-Sayed, a physician and former Detroit health director, faces Republican nominee Mike Rogers in November for the seat Sen. Gary Peters is vacating. His campaign's pitch for Sunday's event focuses on the cost of groceries, health care and getting by, and promises a conversation about taking on large corporations, getting money out of politics and passing Medicare for All.
