This spring’s devastating ice storm disrupted the lives and businesses of folks across Northern Michigan. That’s why I pressed the SBA to provide needed assistance, and I’m thrilled that Michigan’s request was just approved to help communities recover from the storm.

GM announces $4 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing plants, including in Lake Orion Township • Michigan Advance

General Motors on Tuesday evening announced plans to put $4 billion over the next two years toward its domestic automotive manufacturing, increasing U.S. production of both gas and electric-powered ve...

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

I welcome this commitment from GM to expand their U.S. production and protect good auto jobs in our state. Michigan workers are the best in the world, and this investment will help ensure that they continue to lead the way in automotive manufacturing.

1 in 7 Michiganders rely on federal food assistance to help put meals on the table. But Donald Trump and Republicans want to slash that vital service to help pay for a massive tax cut for billionaires. I'm doing everything I can to stop them.

US envoy says he does not think Palestinian state is US policy goal, Bloomberg reports

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said he did not think that an independent Palestinian state remains a goal of U.S. foreign policy, according to an interview with Bloomberg News released on Tuesday.

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

Amb. Huckabee's statement undermines decades of American foreign policy and I urge the Administration to reject his comments. The United States must remain committed to a two-state solution. It is the clearest path to long-term peace, security, and stability in the region.

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

I asked Sec. Lutnick a simple question: would he protect 24/7 weather monitoring in Marquette? He gave me anything but a straight answer. He won't put Michiganders' safety first, so I introduced legislation that would help keep our forecasting offices open around-the-clock.

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

It was great to sit down with Indivisible members from across Michigan today. Together, we'll continue to fight back against President Trump and Republicans as they try to take Michiganders' health care and food assistance away to give tax cuts to billionaires.

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

Sending warm wishes to everyone celebrating Eid al-Adha in Michigan and across the country. May this day bring peace, joy, and compassion. Eid Mubarak!

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

It has been 81 years since the Allied Forces landed in Normandy, France to launch their assault on the Nazi regime. This D-Day we recognize the thousands of brave servicemembers who risked everything to liberate Europe.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govJun 4(source)

President Trump’s tax bill would kick millions of Americans off health care and food assistance and raise the national deficit by $2.4 TRILLION — all to put more money in billionaires’ pockets. It’s a big, beautiful betrayal of hardworking families.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govJun 4(source)

The bill that Pres. Trump & Republicans are trying to pass would cut health care coverage for almost 11 million Americans — including hundreds of thousands of Michiganders. Taking health care away from seniors & children to give the ultra-wealthy tax cuts makes no sense. I’ll never support that.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govJun 3(source)

Great to meet with Gabby Giffords as Gun Violence Awareness Month begins. We must continue working to pass commonsense gun safety laws and support survivors of gun violence.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govJun 3(source)

The Great Lakes are in our DNA as Michiganders. I’ll never stop working to keep them healthy and thriving for future generations.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.govJun 3(source)

Happy Pride Month Michigan! Everyone deserves to be treated fairly, no matter who they are or who they love. I’m proud to stand with LGBTQ+ Michiganders this month and every month.

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

Job Corps has helped countless Michiganders find a career and build a better life. The Trump administration's decision to pause this program will hurt Michigan families and our economy. As a longtime supporter of Job Corps, I'll keep fighting to protect it.

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

My bipartisan bill to build on the CHIPS and Science Act recently passed the Senate. I'm going to keep working to see it enacted into law so we can bolster American manufacturers, reduce our dependence on foreign supply chains, and create more good-paying jobs for Michiganders.

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

I am outraged and deeply disturbed by the antisemitic terror attack in Boulder yesterday. My thoughts are with the victims, their families and community, and I’m grateful for the swift action of law enforcement. We cannot tolerate this kind of hateful violence in America.

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

Always great to sit down and catch up with folks at the Mackinac Policy Conference!
