Democrats Stevens and El Sayed Face Off in Primary Debate for Michigan Senate The Democratic primary debate between Rep.
Haley Stevens and former health official Abdul El Sayed has all the makings of a compelling showdown, pitting two progressive candidates against each other in a bid for the Senate seat being vacated by Gary Peters.
