Nessel urges Jewish Democrats to embrace a 'moral imperative' in Michigan's fall elections

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel spoke at a private Birmingham gathering of Jewish Democrats, urging them to follow a 'moral imperative' that places the world’s needs above personal safety, invoking Queen Esther. She criticized political divides over Israel, did not endorse Abdul El-Sayed in the U.S. Senate race (he attended and apologized for past remarks), and noted safety concerns about public events. Some attendees indicated they might write in Nessel or otherwise withhold support for El-Sayed due to Israel-related concerns and his associations. Nessel, who is term-limited and cannot run again, did not attend the state party convention citing safety concerns.
