I voted for Haley Stevens. Haley Stevens did not run a serious primary campaign. Here's why: Stevens had tens of millions of dollars in outside spending and huge institutional support, and her campaign assumed that money and those resources would carry her to the finish line. They didn’t. Dr. El-Sayed ran a campaign where all the odds were stacked against him. He had no institutional support. None. He had a fraction of the money and no outside spending, and his campaign didn’t even try to get any Super PAC spending. Running a fully small-dollar campaign is hard! Do you know what Abdul had? Events, organizing, and volunteers. That’s where “the many vs. the money” came from. While the Stevens campaign let the ads do the heavy lifting, Abdul was out campaigning anywhere and everywhere. While she campaigned almost exclusively in Southeast Michigan, he went all over the state and built a huge coalition with rural voters up north. Haley didn't do her first event up north until the week before the primary, and she didn't spend her time going everywhere and meeting with everyone. Candidly, Haley ran a similar campaign to what Mike Rogers is running today—hardly any events, lots of money, and lots of outside spending. In the end, Abdul won a race he was never supposed to win: little money, no institutional support, and a mountain of super PAC spending against him. Very few candidates have defied odds like that. Abdul will do it again in two weeks. Stay tuned
