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!

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...

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.

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.
