@tndtok: Sheriff of Saginaw County, Michigan, William Federspiel, has been a lifelong Democrat, but has decided to leave the party and endorse Mike Rogers over Abdul El-Sayed. Sheriff Federspiel told The National News Desk, "Party leaders are happy that I'm gone because they said they'd prefer to have a real Democrat." He says his pro-life and tough-on-crime views are no longer acceptable within the Democratic Party. "I don't believe people should be released early from prison if they've been convicted by a jury of their peers. I believe they should do the time if they're willing to do the crime... Abdul El-Sayed has stated publicly that he would like to let people free from prison, early, early sentence releases." #michigan #democrat #abdulelsayed #mikerogers #election
