Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Abdul El-Sayed
Alexandria: ‘ “Right now we are in a critically important juncture in our country…. Abdul inspires me. His commitment inspires me, his background inspires me, his work inspires me, and we have to have each other's backs if we’re going to change this country.“ ‘ (Metro Times)
Abdul: ‘ “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez proved to us that an authentic message of what government can do to support poor and working people against the dominance of corporations can move our politics," El-Sayed says in a statement. "Bernie [Sanders] showed us how important that message is in Michigan. I look forward to traveling throughout Michigan with Alexandria and learning, listening, and speaking with Michiganders about the Michigan we aim to build together.” ‘ (Metro Times)

Bernie: ’“I’m proud to endorse Dr. Abdul El-Sayed for Governor of Michigan. As governor, Dr. El-Sayed will fight for a government in Lansing that represents all the people, and not just wealthy special interests. Under Abdul’s leadership, Michigan can help lead the nation in guaranteeing health care for all through a Medicare for All single-payer type system, tuition free public colleges and universities, a minimum wage of $15 per hour and strong environmental protections.” ‘

P.S. — This is a community diary, and members of Support the Dream Defenders are not interested in re-fighting the 2016 primary. We want to make it abundantly clear that our group is not endorsing the Bernie wing of the party. Our members are free to choose, but our group itself remains neutral in the intra-party fight.
