I’m thrilled to bring home needed investments for Michigan’s servicemembers. This includes funding for Selfridge Air National Guard Base that will help make critical upgrades to the base to support our national security. A great win for our state. www.michigannewssource.com/2025/11/mich...
I applaud my veteran colleagues for standing by the Constitution and the rule of law. Trump’s call for the arrest and execution of elected officials who are simply upholding the law is a disgrace and should be condemned by every American.
Read the joint statement from myself, Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Representatives Jason Crow (D-CO-06), Chris Deluzio (D-PA-17), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH-02), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA-06):
At a time when Michigan families are struggling to put food on the table, we are making investments that help meet the needs of our communities. This bill provides funding for the programs Michiganders depend on to feed their families and support our farmers. www.peters.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...
Michigan small businesses are the backbone of our economy. But right now they are facing chaotic tariffs, high inflation, and rising health care costs. I was glad to meet with them here in DC to talk about how we work to lower costs and make sure our economy works for them.
Strong broadband supply chains are essential to fast, reliable internet. My bipartisan bill would help identify supply chain issues before they impact folks at home. I’ll continue to fight for high-speed internet access for all Michiganders. www.peters.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...
My alma mater, Rochester High School, unveiled a new Veterans “Wall of Honor” today to recognize RHS alumni and faculty who have served in our Armed Forces. It is an honor for me to be recognized alongside my father and the courageous men and women who have served in our community.
On Veterans Day, we honor those who have served in our Armed Forces and defended the American ideals we all hold dear. God bless all of those who served and are currently serving. 🇺🇸
50 years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald and all 29 of her crew were lost to Lake Superior. @klobuchar.senate.gov and I are introducing a resolution to help honor their memory and ensure their legend lives on.
Trump's Administration could release the full SNAP funding currently available right now. Yet, he has fought it every step of the way. Hungry children should not be penalized as we keep working to reopen the government.
It's a very simple compromise: Protect existing health care credits, end the shutdown.   We must take action on rising costs for families who are shopping for their health care right now, and we can end this shutdown.
