I'm deeply concerned that DOGE may be illegally accessing Americans' personal data and putting people's privacy and security at risk. I'm calling on the directors of federal agencies to provide evidence that they are following the law and keeping your data safe.

For Michiganders, the Great Lakes are part of our DNA. That’s why I'm honored to be named Co-Chair of the bipartisan Senate Great Lakes Task Force. I've spent my whole career protecting our Great Lakes, and I'll keep working to keep them healthy and vibrant for generations to come.
U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 26(source)
NEWS: I'm honored to have been named the most effective Senator for the third time in a row by the nonpartisan Center for Effective Lawmaking. I’ll keep working to find commonsense, bipartisan solutions and deliver results for Michiganders and Americans across our country.
U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 25(source)
Proud to stand alongside postal workers from Michigan and across the country to protect the Postal Service that EVERY American relies on. We speak with one voice when we say NO to privatization!
U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 25(source)
Women deserve equal pay for equal work. Period. Today, on Equal Pay Day, I joined a group of my colleagues in introducing the Paycheck Fairness Act to end pay discrimination and help close the gender pay gap.

Eliminating FEMA would leave millions of Americans vulnerable and unprepared when disasters strike. FEMA’s mitigation, response, and recovery efforts save lives and this decision will recklessly put communities at risk while undermining our homeland security. www.semafor.com/article/03/2...
DHS Sec. Noem says will move to ‘eliminate’ FEMA, a long-time Trump target
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Monday that her department would attempt to shutter the federal disaster relief agency but did not go into detail.

For nearly 108 years, Selfridge Air National Guard Base has played a key role in keeping Michigan strong and bolstering our national security. I'm proud to partner with Senator Elissa Slotkin to honor the legacy of Selfridge, and the thousands of men and women who have served there.
Peters, Slotkin honor 108th anniversary of Selfridge Air National Guard Base
U.S. Senators Gary Peters (MI) and Elissa Slotkin (MI) introduced a bipartisan resolution honoring the 108th anniversary of Selfridge Air National Guard Base and commending the thousands of men and wo...

President Trump is ensuring even more chaos with his April 2nd tariffs on Canada.   He’s hanging the Big Three automakers and American union workers out to dry. We won't gain anything by blowing up our relationship with Michigan's biggest trading partner.
U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 18(source)
Over 2.5 MILLION Michiganders — including children and seniors — rely on Medicaid to receive quality, affordable health care. President Trump wants to slash Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. I'll keep fighting back.
U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 17(source)
My bipartisan Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains Act would help the United States attract the major semiconductor investments we need to support Michigan's automakers and outpace the competition. I’m proud it advanced to the full Senate last week.
U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 12(source)
Cutting the Social Security phone service would make it a whole lot harder for millions of Americans, especially seniors, to access the benefits they've paid into their entire lives. The Trump Administration needs to stop this assault on essential services that Americans rely on.
Social Security, facing pressure from DOGE, weighs big cuts to phone service
Agency considers ending phone program that helps with claims processing and is used by millions of elderly and disabled Americans.
U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 12(source)
Make no mistake, this is a step towards President Trump’s goal of eliminating the Department of Education altogether & privatizing our schools. These cuts will hurt students across our country — particularly those who are low-income, rural, or have a disability. It’s a travesty.
U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govMar 11(source)
The Trump Administration's plan to fire 80,000 VA employees would make it harder for veterans to receive the benefits they earned and deserve. My colleagues and I are calling on the administration to uphold their sacred obligation to care for our veterans.
