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.

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

Americans pay into Social Security their entire lives. They deserve their benefits, full stop. I will fight any and all attempts by President Trump and his Administration to cut Social Security.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 25(source)

I strongly condemn the horrific terrorist attack in Kashmir. My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones. We must stand against this hateful violence, and work together to promote peace and stability in the region.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 25(source)

My office is already hearing from Michiganders who are afraid that this will undermine their children's privacy. RFK Jr. is misusing his position to collect Americans’ sensitive health data to push his own unfounded views on autism. This is dangerous and unacceptable.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 24(source)

Today, on Armenian Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the 1.5 million innocent Armenians who were murdered in the horrific genocide. I join our Armenian community in Michigan and across the world in mourning this tragedy.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 24(source)

On Yom HaShoah, we remember and mourn the more than 6 million Jewish men, women, and children who were murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust. We must continue to stand against antisemitism and all forms of hate.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 24(source)

Head Start provides children across Michigan with a strong foundation for their education. But, without explanation, the Trump administration closed regional Head Start offices that ensure local programs have the resources to support students and families. I’m demanding answers.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 23(source)

Secretary Hegseth’s carelessness with our military’s most sensitive information is outrageous and continues to put our national security and the safety of American servicemembers at risk. He has once again shown that he is not fit for the critical job of leading our Armed Forces.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 22(source)

Happy Earth Day, Michigan! We're so fortunate to call such a beautiful place home, and I’m working every day to keep our world healthy and thriving for future generations.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 21(source)

I join the world in mourning the loss of Pope Francis today. He led with compassion and advocated for the most vulnerable among us. His message of peace and love for all people will live on and continue to inspire hope for a brighter future.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 20(source)

Happy Easter to everyone celebrating in Michigan and across the country! Wishing you a blessed day with your loved ones.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 18(source)

If the SAVE Act comes to the Senate floor, I will vote NO. I oppose any efforts that jeopardize Americans’ fundamental right to vote.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 17(source)

My heart is with the victims, their families, and the entire Florida State community following today’s horrific shooting. We cannot accept these terrible acts of gun violence as normal.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 17(source)

More than 2.5 MILLION Michiganders receive quality, affordable health care thanks to Medicaid. But President Trump wants to slash life-changing care for seniors, children, and working families — all to pay for tax cuts for his billionaire buddies. I’ll keep fighting back.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 15(source)

President Trump and his administration must follow the rule of law, obey the Supreme Court's order, and return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to his family in Maryland. Refusing to do so would set an extremely alarming precedent for families in Michigan and across the country.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govApr 14(source)

President Trump has shown that he has the power to swing the market singlehandedly. There's a real possibility that some of his billionaire buddies made out like bandits around his announcement of the tariff pause. We need an investigation to see if any crime was committed.

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

Chag Semeach to all the Michiganders who will gather around the Seder table to celebrate Passover this weekend!

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

Northern Strike is one of our country's TOP joint training exercises, and it showcases the best of Michigan's top-notch defense capabilities. Leaders from key areas across our military agree that it’s going to continue to be a keystone for our strategy moving forward.

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

When severe weather strikes, we all need to join together in the recovery effort. I'm so grateful to everyone who's been working day in and day out in the wake of this week's ice storm in Northern Michigan, and stand ready to support their work.

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

I'm inspired by the tireless advocacy of Michiganders on behalf of Ukraine. I'll continue standing with the Ukrainian people as they defend their homeland against Putin's invasion.
