U.S. Senator Gary Peters

Michigan never fails to innovate, and the FRIB at MSU is no exception. Since they broke ground on this facility over a decade ago, I have been proud to support their exploration in science and technology. We’ll benefit from the investments made at this facility for decades to come.

Many truck drivers and farmers are now paying nearly double for diesel compared to before Trump’s war with Iran. This Administration must work towards ending this war and bringing costs down.

The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative is the most significant investment ever made to restore and protect our Great Lakes. I’ll keep working in a bipartisan way to get this commonsense bill passed into law to help protect the Great Lakes for future generations.

Exciting progress in downtown Traverse City! Once completed, this pedestrian bridge will give folks a glimpse into the FishPass project that will help protect the Great Lakes ecosystem by sorting local fish from invasive species like sea lamprey.

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” sold out many rural hospitals in Michigan by making drastic cuts to Medicaid funding. These health care cuts will make it harder for Michiganders to receive care, and it was all to pay for tax cuts to billionaires. www.mlive.com/news/kalamaz...

Very proud that my wife Colleen was honored with the Congressional Families Leadership Award today for her work to increase cancer awareness and early detection. She is truly the most important person in my life, and I am so lucky to be by her side.

Since the beginning of Trump’s war with Iran, Michiganders have watched their gas prices go up and up. Instead of working towards ending this war and bringing costs down, the President is now considering a further escalation of the conflict.

I’m proud to join Michiganders in recognizing our first PFAS Awareness Week. I'll never stop fighting to clean up contaminated sites, keep PFAS out of our drinking water, and hold polluters accountable.

I’m aware of the plane crash near Traverse City. I am closely monitoring the situation as we work to get more information on the incident. Praying that the pilot and folks on the ground are safe.

Once completed, the Michigan Veteran Homes D.J. Jacobetti will help ensure veterans in the U.P. continue to receive quality care long into the future. I was proud to support this new construction by securing a $57 million federal investment in 2023.

Trump’s war with Iran continues to raise fuel costs. Michiganders did not want this war to begin with, and they are continuing to shoulder the burden. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/l...

During my motorcycle tour, we learned about the Bay City Fire Department’s plans to use federal funding I helped secure to protect firefighters from toxic PFAS contamination and purchase critical safety equipment.

Thank you to the National Park Service for 110 years of serving the American people. Our country is home to treasured public lands and natural wonders. I am fighting to protect them for future generations. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Thank you Humane Society of West Michigan for your caring work and partnership over the years to support survivors of domestic violence and their pets. I am proud to stand by them through my work in Congress, and I will always fight to protect our four-legged friends.

Securing our nation from cyberattacks is one of the most important national security challenges we face. Ferris State University is helping to make sure we are prepared by training the next generation of cyber professionals.

In Traverse City today, we toured the nearly finished FishPass project downtown. Once completed, we will have the ability to sort native fish from harmful invasive species like sea lamprey in the Boardman/Ottaway River.

Here’s a wrap of days 2 and 3 of my motorcycle tour going to the UP and back!

We heard about the amazing improvements to come at the new Michigan Veteran Homes D.J. Jacobetti in Marquette. I was proud to jump start this construction by securing a $57 million federal investment in 2023. Special thank you to Michigan Veteran Homes.

The Mackinac Bridge is a testament to Michigan’s power and grit. We are a state of builders – and breathtaking views!

Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary is an economic engine for the City of Alpena and a critical part of Michigan’s heritage. Thank you to all the partners like Thunder Bay who help protect our Great Lakes!

Honored to meet with first responders at the Bay City Fire Department on this year’s tour. During my time in Congress, I’ve made it a mission to ensure Michigan firefighters have the support they need to do their essential work. Thank you to all who protect the people of Michigan.

For over 100 years, Berston Field House has been a cornerstone of the Flint community. I was proud to officially kick off the motorcycle tour here and discuss federal funding that will strengthen this institution for decades to come.

About to begin my “Thank You, Michigan” motorcycle tour at UAW Local 5960 in Lake Orion. Excited to be joined by some longtime riders and good friends on this last tour.

ICE must be held to the same standard as our local law enforcement. Unfortunately, DHS has not shared any corrective actions that have been taken related to the killings of Mr. Pretti and Ms. Good. Instead, we have seen the agency double down on violent tactics from Maine to Texas.

Millions of Americans have voted by mail, including President Trump. His fearmongering is an attempt to undermine the upcoming elections because he knows his policies have hurt Americans and he’s worried about the results.

The Trump Administration’s disregard for PFAS contamination is a danger to our environment and public health. We need to better protect Americans from these toxic chemicals. I’m continuing to fight back against Trump’s EPA for ignoring PFAS safety in our country.

THREAD: The Trump Administration has used DOGE to recklessly slash government programs, ransacking critical services & resources & proudly displaying supposed ‘savings’ on its Wall of Receipts. 1/ www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

President Trump is cutting important Medicare funding, raising prescription drug costs for millions of Americans. We are simply going in the wrong direction at a time when Americans are also feeling the burden of rising costs at the gas pump and grocery store. www.wsj.com/health/healt...

Throughout my time in Congress, I’ve repeatedly fought to support Michigan growers and protect their livelihoods. That’s why I’m going to keep pushing to pass my bipartisan SWAT Act to combat an invasive species that is raising production costs and threatening their crops.

For the 13th time, I voted to end this war in Iran. It's unacceptable that the Trump Administration continues to mislead Congress and the American people about why we are in this war, and how we are going to get out of it.

This week, the Senate showed enormous bipartisan support for the Ukrainian people in their fight against Russian aggression. As we heard from President Zelenskyy, strong U.S. sanctions on Russia will send a clear message to Putin that we demand lasting peace for Ukraine and the entire region.

Rising gas prices continue to bear down on Michiganders. The American people need a clear vision from the President about the path to lower costs and end this war in the Middle East. www.wxyz.com/news/gas-pri...

President Trump is trying to control elections and allow USPS to block millions of Americans from exercising their right to vote. It’s illegal and unconstitutional. Voters choose their leaders, not the other way around. apnews.com/article/trum...

Today, we celebrate an exciting new chapter for the U.S.-Canada economic partnership: the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge.

Happy 325th to the 3-1-3!

This Administration is failing our brave men and women in uniform. We need real leadership to end this war with Iran.
