$686,069 in 2025 household income put Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and his wife above the state's roughly $611,500 top-1% threshold, according to newly released tax returns.
The disclosure undercuts a campaign message centered on taxing concentrated wealth: El-Sayed has argued some Americans are so rich that their "money makes money" and backs taxes aimed at the ultra-rich.
$262,299 of the household income came from capital gains, and the return listed two rental properties valued at $750,000, details likely to sharpen criticism of his attacks on "greedy landlords."
The filing also showed a sharp rise from the $237,000 in gross income disclosed during his 2018 gubernatorial run, while his campaign did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
