His financial disclosure filed July 27 reveals that his wife, psychiatrist Sarah Jukaku, owns two overseas rental properties: one in Bengaluru, India, and another in Dubai, UAE. The Bengaluru property, valued between $100,001 and $250,000, generates $5,001 to $15,000 in annual rent. The Dubai property, also in the same value range, first appeared in the latest filing. El-Sayed said the properties were inherited by his wife and that his career has never been about maximising money. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Abdul El-Sayed, Democratic primary, Michigan, Muslim senator, overseas property, Sarah Jukaku Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/michigan-democrat-el-sayeds-wife-owns-india-dubai-rentals/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
