Michigan is on the cutting-edge of developing new technologies that keep us competitive while creating good jobs for workers. The American Innovation and Jobs Act would help ensure our small businesses and startups can continue to spearhead innovation.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 13(source)

Medicaid covers more than 2.5 million Michiganders. But President Trump wants to gut it and kick children, seniors, and people with disabilities off their health care — all to give a massive tax break to billionaires. I'm going to fight it every step of the way.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 12(source)

If President Trump accepts this plane from a foreign government, it’s not only a national security threat, it’s a $400 million down payment to benefit the Qatari government’s interests. This is corruption, plain and simple.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 11(source)

Happy Mother’s Day to my incredible wife Colleen, my mother-in-law, and all the great moms in Michigan and across the country!

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 10(source)

As Ranking Member of HSGAC, I’m calling on Senate Republicans to do their jobs and hold President Trump accountable for his challenges to our nation’s constitutional system of checks and balances and rule of law.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 9(source)

Communities across Michigan lost power for weeks on end following the devastating ice storm that just hit our state. That shouldn't happen in America. That's why I've introduced a bipartisan bill to strengthen Michigan's power grid and prevent future outages.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 8(source)

Generations of brave Michiganders like Captain James McClain have answered the call to defend our nation. When Captain McClain’s daughter Sheri contacted my office for help receiving her father’s military awards, we were honored to step up and help recognize his service.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 8(source)

Public service workers devote their careers to making things better for folks all across our country — from Social Security recipients to veterans. This Public Service Recognition Week, I hope you'll join me in thanking public workers for all that they do.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 7(source)

President Trump is trying to defund the public media organizations our communities depend on for emergency notifications, news coverage and educational content that all ages can enjoy. Freedom of the press is essential, and I'll keep fighting to protect public TV and radio.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 6(source)

Congratulations to Michiganders Christina Danieli, Maxwell Gilbert, Alexandrea Rutledge, and Jeremiah Stumpfig on your incredible accomplishments at this year’s Special Olympics World Winter Games! You’ve made our state and our country proud. 🇺🇸

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 6(source)

Frank Bisignano has made it clear that he won’t stop the Trump Admin and DOGE from making it harder for millions of Americans to access their Social Security benefits if he’s confirmed as SSA Commissioner. I’m heading to the floor right now to vote NO on Frank Bisignano.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 5(source)

We all know that the price of housing in Michigan and across the country is too high. President Trump's tariffs will only make the problem WORSE by spiking construction costs for new homes by as much as $10,000. I'm demanding that he reverse course immediately.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 5(source)

This Teacher Appreciation Week I’m thinking of all of our amazing educators, like my dad, who put in long hours and go above and beyond so their students can succeed. I know I wouldn’t be where I am today without the teachers I’ve had in my life. Thank you!

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMay 2(source)

Folks! Reminder to make sure your driver’s license or Michigan ID has a REAL ID star in the corner before the May 7th deadline. Otherwise, be sure to bring an acceptable ID – like your passport – next time you fly. Learn more: dhs.gov/real-id

Before President Trump took office America had the strongest economy in the world. Now, consumers all across the country can see that he wrecked it. And it only took him 100 days.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 30(source)

In his first 100 Days, President Trump levied a new National Sales Tax on American families that's already expected to cost the average household more than $4000 a year — including an extra $200 on groceries. So much for his promise of lowering prices...

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 29(source)

My statement on the announcement that 21 F-15EXs are coming to Selfridge Air National Guard Base:

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 29(source)

Selfridge Air National Guard Base is the ideal home for future fighter missions. For years, I’ve pushed to bring a new fighter mission to Selfridge, and I’ll keep working until we get the job done.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 28(source)

From helping to secure KC-46A tankers to establishing the Northern Border Mission Center, I've been laser focused on strengthening the future of Selfridge, especially bringing home a new fighter mission to the base. County Executive Mark Hackel has been a great partner in that work.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 28(source)

Selfridge Air National Guard Base is critical to our nation’s defense and the ideal location for a future fighter mission. For years, I’ve been pushing to get Selfridge a new fighter, and I'm ready to work with the Administration to get the job done.
