U.S. Senator Gary Peters

When officers don't identify themselves during immigration enforcement operations, it risks escalation and puts both them and members of the public at risk.   That's why I cosponsored legislation requiring those officers to have clearly displayed identification.

The way Senator Padilla was treated today is outrageous and inexcusable. He was doing his job and trying to get information for his constituents. We need accountability for the personnel who forced him to the ground and handcuffed him and immediate answers from the Admin.

Violence targeting law enforcement is never acceptable. I condemn the recent attacks on officers in the line of duty.

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.
