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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.gov · 18/08/2026
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.

I was proud to secure more than $27 million to help improve vital economic corridors in Metro Detroit. Having safe, reliable roadways is critical to public safety and supporting the residents and businesses who rely on them each and every day.

Michigan has experienced more severe storms and flooding in recent years that have threatened public safety and damaged property. I was proud to secure $22 million to help Benton Harbor invest in infrastructure upgrades that will protect residents, homes, and businesses.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.gov · 06/08/2026
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law continues to support needed upgrades to Michigan roads, bridges, and critical infrastructure. I am pleased to announce $12.5 million in federal funding from that law for roadway safety projects in Ingham County.

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.

In case you missed it – the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is now the law of the land! I am proud of this huge bipartisan victory to increase our housing supply and lower costs for Michiganders. huroncountyview.com/articles/pet...

Trump and Republicans refuse to rein in ICE and CBP. These fatal shootings are why Democrats are pushing to enact commonsense reforms like deescalation training, body cameras, and accountability.

There’s a foodborne parasite spreading, but there are ways for folks to stay healthy. Michigan HHS has great resources on how to keep safe, and it can be as simple as always washing your hands and thoroughly cleaning fresh produce, as recommended. See more below 👇

The Great Lakes and Michigan’s auto industry are simply part of who we are as Michiganders. As we celebrate America's 250th birthday with this time capsule, what better way to memorialize our amazing state than some Pure Michigan! www.freep.com/story/news/p...

I’m glad the Supreme Court affirmed that ballots mailed by election day will still be counted. Millions of Americans rely on mail-in ballots as a safe and secure way to make their voices heard. I’ll continue to work hard to keep our elections fair and free from interference.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters @peters.senate.gov · 26/06/2026
Federal judges this week repeatedly confirmed what we all know and what the Constitution makes clear: No President can nationalize our elections. I’ll keep working to stop election interference, safeguard the fundamental right to vote, and ensure our elections remain free, fair, and secure.

On Juneteenth National Independence Day, we commemorate the closing of one of our nation’s most painful chapters. As we recognize this critical moment in our history, let’s recommit to addressing the systemic inequalities and racial disparities that persist in our society today.

Disasters hit red states and blue states alike. When they strike, we need to come together as Americans to help each other recover. But, President Trump has been politicizing recovery aid based on your Governor’s or Senators’ political party. It’s simply unacceptable.

We have to stay on top of this screwworm outbreak. Further spread has the potential to cause serious economic harm for our dairy and cattle farmers. I'm urging USDA to take immediate action.

Happy Pride, Michigan! Pride Month is a time to elevate and recognize the generations of LGBTQ Americans who bravely stood up for their basic rights. We must band together to ensure that Michiganders are free to be their real, authentic selves.

DHS confirmed it is ready for trade and travelers on the Gordie Howe Bridge. That is great news for Michigan! Once open, the bridge will support international commerce that grows Michigan’s economy.

I wouldn’t be where I am today without the teachers I’ve had in my life, including my dad, a proud public school teacher for many years.    This National Teacher Day, I'm sending my sincerest thank you to all the educators who go above and beyond for our students.
