United Democracy Project Reports $94,620.36 in Direct Mail Against El-Sayed in the Michigan Senate General Election

United Democracy Project, a super PAC, has independent expenditures against Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed in the general election. The earliest line item in the FEC’s Schedule E data is $94,620.36 for direct mail paid to Riviera LLC, with a dissemination date of 10/07/2026, reported to the FEC on 10/09/2026. The earlier timeline entry on SLF PAC spending (linked in this entry’s related events) found no general-election independent expenditure under this committee’s name at its coverage cutoff, so these rows are new since that entry.

These rows come from independent-expenditure notices filed after each dissemination, and they may be amended later. The expenditure date and the dissemination date are the same on every row.

Limits

Schedule E records the filer and the payee, not who funded the filer, so these rows do not identify the source of the money. Nothing here addresses coordination with any campaign or why the spending was placed where it was.
