"Current Affairs has never before made a specific endorsement of a political candidate. But the current Michigan governor’s race is so important that we have a responsibility to change that practice. Our editorial board is proud to endorse Abdul El-Sayed for Governor of Michigan."

4. UAW and UFCW are not all encompassing "labor"

For instance, who did the nurses union endorse? I come from a family of nurses and trust their judgement.
