CMV: I think Abdul El-Sayed is a better candidate for senate than Haley Stevens, and that AES is also a workhorse.

Haley Stevens claimed AES is a showhorse, and that she is a workhorse.
Abdul El-Sayed erased $27 million in medical debt, and oversaw programs providing glasses to children and removing lead from schools. Those are clear accomplishments.
While AES goes on podcasts a lot, he needs to promote his brand across the state. While I believe he could’ve condemned Hasan Piker before campaigning with him, I understand why they campaigned together.
AES also runs on clear policies, and explains well on his website. I also believe that AES can appeal to independents more than Stevens. Michigan loves anti-establishment progressives. The state supported Bernie in 2016. The best presidential performer was Obama, who was anti-establishment in 2008. Furthermore, the state used to have 2 progressive senators, Carl Levin and Donald Riegle (RIP to both of them).
