Abdul El-Sayed's wife and family: What to know

Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed has been projected to win the U.S. Senate race against Republican Mike Rogers, becoming the first Muslim elected to the Senate. He secured the Democratic nomination after defeating Rep. Haley Stevens, who later endorsed Rogers just before Election Day. El-Sayed is married to Dr. Sarah Jukaku, a psychiatrist he met at the University of Michigan, and the couple has two daughters, Emmalee and Serene. Jukaku appeared in campaign ads discussing union support after childbirth complications, and the family resides in Ann Arbor. Polling before the election showed El-Sayed leading Rogers by significant margins, including an 11-point lead in a New York Times/Siena College poll. The couple's engagement was featured in a 2006 University of Michigan student publication article.
