Flint, Michigan, City Council Member and Abdul El-Sayed endorser, Leon El-Alamin, was just charged with election fraud. This comes as he is awaiting trail for a brutal domestic violence charge and previously served time for drug and weapons charges.
As reported by The Federalist:
El-Alamin, 45, stands accused of lying on his affidavit in April 2025, claiming he resided within Flint’s city limits to qualify for the council seat. He did not, Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton told ABC 12 in Flint. Instead, El-Alamin was residing in nearby Mt. Morris Township, residents and others told police. A tenant at the Flint address listed on the councilman’s affidavit also told investigators that El-Alamin did not live there, but that he was the landlord of the property.
…
The council member who runs a $1 million nonprofit dedicated to providing “comprehensive non-violence prevention programs” also awaits an October trial on a felony charge of “assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder” and a misdemeanor domestic violence charge.
This isn’t the first time an Abdul El-Sayed supporter was arrested on disturbing charges. A campaign volunteer was just arrested for terrorizing University of Michigan officials.
“You are the company that you keep and Abdul El-Sayed’s friendships with dangerous criminals and his history of supporting Hamas and policies like defunding the police are raising serious questions,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Samantha Cantrell.
