Michigan's DSA Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed's delayed financial disclosure reveals vast properties in India, Dubai

Newly released financial disclosures for Michigan US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed have revealed that the far-left politician and his wife own rental properties in India, the United Arab Emirates, and the US worth hundreds of thousands of dollars each. El-Sayed delayed the disclosures until the day before the Michigan primary.

One property, a condo, is listed as being located in Bangalore, India. The filing, which covers the 2025 calendar year, stated that the property is valued at between $100,001 and $250,000, and that it brings in an income of between $5,001 and $15,000. El-Sayed’s wife is listed as the owner. The filing also lists a second property, located in Dubai, with the same valuation, income, and ownership listed. 

The couple also owns a rental property in the United States, located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The property is valued at between $250,001 and $500,000, and brings in an income of $15,001 and $50,000. The ownership is listed as being joint. 

In early July, the Senate candidate claimed that the process for filing financial disclosure forms was “complicated” due to his wife’s family owning overseas assets. El-Sayed had requested an extension to file his 2026 financial disclosures until after the Senate primary.

El-Sayed said, “My wife and her family own property abroad, so getting all those tax forms is a thing.” El-Sayed had been criticized by his opponent in the Democrat primary, Rep Haley Stevens, who claimed he was a millionaire and that voters should have access to the filing’s information before the primary. El-Sayed said, “Well, if, if you take my assets and her, my, my wife's assets together, then I guess they add up to something like that.”
