IT’S GOOD TO BE THE NOMENKLATURA: Abdul El-Sayed Billed County Taxpayers $9,000 a Month in ‘Consulting’ Fees While Running for Senate.

Michigan’s left-wing Democratic Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed billed county taxpayers $9,000 per month in consulting fees while running for Senate, according to public records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The Wayne County Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services approved a contract to hire El-Sayed for “consulting services” on April 23, 2025, six days after El-Sayed announced he was running for Senate.
El-Sayed had previously served as director of the county health services department for two years, a post he resigned from on April 3, 2025.

The contract, which extended through the end of the calendar year, stipulated that El-Sayed would be paid at a monthly rate of $9,000 for 30 hours of work—which amounts to around $300 per hour. Wayne County is run by county executive Warren Evans, a Democrat.

If I had to guess, calculating his actual hourly rate would return a divide-by-zero error.
