U.S. Senator proudly representing the State of Michigan. 🏍️

Months after Trump declared “total and complete victory” in Iran, this war has now cost American taxpayers at least $40 billion dollars. The American people did not ask for this. They asked us to bring costs down. And yet today, we’re in another war in the Middle East that is risking American lives and raising the cost of living. time.com/article/2026/09/15/…

It’s past time that the Department of Defense treats PFAS contamination with the urgency it deserves. My bipartisan bill would force them to get shovels in the ground and begin cleanup of contaminated sites in Michigan without further delay.

This taxpayer-funded ad campaign is completely unacceptable. President Trump and Republicans in Congress told the American people they needed this money to keep them safe. Instead, the President is using these funds to boost his agenda ahead of the midterm elections. It’s not the first time we’ve seen DHS misuse funds for self-serving commercials, and it has to stop. Americans deserve a Department of Homeland Security that is working to protect our nation – not promote the President and his political allies.
Exclusive: The Trump administration used Homeland Security funds to finance a set of controversial pro-Trump advertisements that recently began airing on television. on.wsj.com/4dYL6Wr

I led nearly three dozen of my colleagues last week calling on Secretary Mullin to drop these requirements, and to halt DHS’s election interference efforts. The court did the right thing, but this clearly shouldn’t have become policy in the first place. Now, FEMA needs to immediately release this funding to help keep communities safe.

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. mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/202…

My heart is with the greater Grand Blanc Township community today as we remember the lives lost in last year's mass shooting and fire. I am deeply grateful to the first responders for their bravery that day, and I am inspired by this community's resilience as they break ground on a new chapel.   cbsnews.com/detroit/news/mic…

The newly renovated Pontiac Oaks Park is a prime example of what’s possible when federal, state, and local officials work together to achieve a common goal. I want to thank the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission for dedicating a new pavilion at the park in my honor. I was proud to celebrate with so many partners who made this beautiful community space a reality.

Very proud that my wife Colleen was honored with the Congressional Families Leadership Award today for her work with @preventcancer’s #CongressionalFamilies Program 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 hope the President re-engages and shows clear strategy for the American people.

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

This week Michiganders are seeing the highest gas prices of the year because of Trump’s war with Iran. This Administration must recognize the economic burden this war is putting on hardworking families and get serious about a winning strategy for peace.
Michigan gas prices have climbed to a new 2026 high, with drivers now paying an average of $4.93 a gallon for regular unleaded — 62 cents more than a week ago, according to AAA.

Senator Gary Peters retweeted
Last week, we observed Patriot Week and were reminded of the enduring importance of remembering the lives lost on September 11, honoring the bravery of first responders, and coming together as a nation. We thank @SenGaryPeters and @SenJohnKennedy for leading this bipartisan resolution once again, ensuring we continue to reflect on our history, uphold our democratic values, and teach future generations. Never forget. Read more about the bipartisan resolution here: peters.senate.gov/newsroom/p… #PatriotWeek #NeverForget #PentagonMemorial #ConstitutionDay #ServiceAndSacrifice #Bipartisan

Michiganders are paying higher prices because of President Trump’s policies, from the grocery store to the gas station to the doctor’s office. It’s unacceptable.

It was great meeting with so many leaders during CBC week, including Flint @mayorneeley and @CityofDetroit Mayor Sheffield! Thank you to all the Michiganders who brought their voice to the U.S. Capitol and discussed critical issues impacting our communities.

Honored to host the Annual Michigan Congressional Black Caucus Breakfast with my friend @SenatorSlotkin this year. I'm blessed to have worked with so many incredible leaders in the CBC over the years, and I will never stop fighting alongside them to build a more just and equitable future in our country.

Artificial intelligence is advancing at an extraordinary pace, and we must slow down its development until we establish commonsense guardrails that ensure this transformational technology is developed safely and responsibly. I’ve worked across the aisle to pass bipartisan legislation establishing safeguards for the federal government’s use of AI, but it’s clear this technology’s impact will be wide-ranging and significant across our entire society. It’s well past time for Congress, the industry, and the Trump Administration to take immediate action and put meaningful standards in place to guide responsible AI innovation.

On POW/MIA Day, we honor the brave servicemembers who gave their lives in defense of our nation, have been held prisoner of war, and those who have not returned home.    Their sacrifice is a debt we can never repay, but must honor by preserving the freedoms and values we hold dear as Americans.
