Why we checked itRogers attributes a specific claim to his opponent about having ten years of work experience, which can be verified against the opponent's actual campaign statements
What we foundEl-Sayed did claim '10 years of public service experience' on the campaign trail, but his two health director roles combined to roughly four years; a figure of ten years requires a much broader and contested definition of 'public service experience.'
