The United Auto Workers (UAW) union announced Friday its endorsements in the hotly contested U.S. Senate race and the race for Michigan governor. The UAW is the largest union in Michigan, representing 300,000 active and retired workers across multiple sectors. Historically, the union's endorsements are seen as heavily influential in Democratic politics and within Michigan writ large. In the U.S. Senate race, with the seat left open by the retiring Gary Peters, physician and former Wayne County public health official, Democrat Abdul El Sayed, is receiving the union's support. "UAW members in Michigan want a fighter in Washington, D.C. who isn’t afraid to push forward a strong working-class agenda with moral clarity," the union writing on X. "Having never taken a dime from corporate PACs, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is someone we can trust to have our backs, including when we need it most – like come May Day 2028."
