The political strategist running Sen.-elect Abdul el Sayed’s (D-MI) new political action committee was formerly tied to a controversy involving misleading voter texts in the 2024 election, Federal Election Commission records show.
El Sayed launched Habibi PAC on Thursday, according to the FEC, after beating GOP opponent Mike Rogers on Tuesday as part of a nationwide blue wave in the midterm elections. The PAC’s treasurer, Howie Stanger, was also treasurer of AllVote and VoteWin in 2024. Those two organizations drew scrutiny for falsely telling people they had not yet voted or registered to vote, according to multiple reports.
