U.S. Senator Gary Peters
@peters.senate.gov
U.S. Senator proudly representing the State of Michigan. 🏍️
Thinking back to our “Miles for Michigan” motorcycle tour this year 🏍️

I’m always thankful to everyone for coming out to meet with me on the tour to discuss the issues that matter to our great state.

I’ve always said a motorcycle is the best way to get from point A to B, but we all know riders face safety risks.

My bill with Senator Ernst would help equip drivers with up-to-date safety information to keep both themselves and riders safe on our roads. 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.

President Trump promised to slash electricity costs in half. Today, Americans in almost every state, including Michigan, are facing higher bills.
November 13, 2025 at 9:38 PM
We must bring down costs and make everyday life more affordable. Michiganders can’t continue to afford these rising prices.
November 13, 2025 at 5:39 PM
There are fewer health plans available on Michigan’s marketplace for next year, and it’s hurting Michiganders’ wallets right now.

This directly relates to the expiring ACA tax credits, Trump’s tariffs, and Republicans’ massive health care cuts this year.

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.

My statement on opposing the funding proposal:
November 10, 2025 at 2:57 AM
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.
November 9, 2025 at 5:54 PM
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.
November 8, 2025 at 7:35 PM
I am proposing a very simple deal to reopen the government:

- Include a one-year clean extension of the current health care tax credits to immediately address Americans’ rising costs.
- Create a bipartisan committee that will continue negotiations on reforms ahead of next year’s enrollment period

Wishing Speaker Emerita Pelosi all the best in her retirement. Americans may never know what your leadership has meant to our democracy. I am grateful to have seen it firsthand as we got things done, from protecting consumers after the ‘08 crash to expanding access to health care. Thank you.
November 7, 2025 at 2:07 AM
Access to health care is an issue that impacts all of us. We need both parties coming together in good faith if we want to address the growing health care crisis in our country.
November 5, 2025 at 6:58 PM
Here’s the reality people are facing with health care plans.

Thanks to Republican’s inaction, monthly bills are going through the roof. That’s why it is critical that we do not cut critical health care credits and exacerbate the rising health care costs caused by Republican’s Big Ugly Bill.

I was at Lighthouse in Pontiac today seeing the local impact of the current lapse in SNAP benefits.

Especially when higher prices are already making it harder for folks to put food on the table, the Trump Administration must release all of the available funding for SNAP.
November 3, 2025 at 11:20 PM
Health care is a fundamental right. I stand ready to come to the table with my Republican colleagues to ensure Americans have access to quality, affordable health care coverage this year.

We need to ensure a seamless transition between Selfridge’s retiring A-10s and the incoming F-15EX fighter jets. As a member of the Armed Services Committee, I’m fighting to help minimize this gap, which would threaten our national security and undermine our fighter fleet.
October 29, 2025 at 8:32 PM
NEW: I am requesting that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General open an investigation into DHS’s reported contract to purchase two luxury private jets for Secretary Kristi Noem’s personal use, totaling up to $200 million.

The Trump Administration is withholding Michiganders' food assistance for political gain, while doing nothing to reopen the government or address the growing health care affordability crisis in this country.
October 28, 2025 at 11:00 PM
Trump’s economic policies are taking us in the wrong direction for lowering costs.
October 27, 2025 at 2:47 PM
I’m leading a bill to ensure our service members and federal employees get the pay they have missed so far due to the shutdown. People need to pay their bills now. Simple as that.

I encourage my colleagues to get behind it as we work to address the health care crisis and end this shutdown.
October 24, 2025 at 2:58 PM
I fought tooth-and-nail to pass the Affordable Care Act when I first came to Congress.

I won't stand by now as Republicans rip health care away from millions of Americans. We must ensure families can access health care.
October 23, 2025 at 2:17 PM
Republicans’ inaction is allowing health care costs to continue to go up for millions of Americans. 

And with President Trump’s Big Ugly Bill making it even harder for folks to access health care, we need a plan to bring those costs down. I stand ready to find a bipartisan path forward.
