Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

The Admin's actions, especially during a pandemic, are unacceptable: they’re trying to end protections for those w/ pre-existing conditions & access to quality, affordable health care. I'm fighting against this & remain committed to improving access to care & lowering costs. https://t.co/xdxBhbIH3r — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Congress should also pass the bipartisan Renewable Fuel Standard Integrity Act, which I am proud to cosponsor, to ensure these giveaways aren’t shielded from public scrutiny. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

The @EPA has issued exemptions for some of the biggest corporations in the world at the expense of Michigan farmers and biofuel producers. This needs to stop. I joined a bipartisan group of Senators today, calling on the EPA to stop its excessive giveaways to big oil companies. https://t.co/mUHFhuM64m — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

We’re in a pandemic—and yet Republicans & the Trump Admin are still trying to end protections for preexisting conditions & raise costs for prescription drugs. The lawsuit is reckless & could have serious consequences. I’ll keep fighting to lower costs & for quality health care. https://t.co/JQubfrmuMd — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Nurses are not only risking their own health & safety but have to live with the fear of potentially passing COVID-19 to a loved one. Proud to have the support of @ANAnursesMI for passing my #COVID19HeroesFund, so nurses can receive the pandemic compensation they deserve. https://t.co/NPWdRoabha — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

This is a good step. We still need answers from Enbridge on the extent of the damage along Line 5 and how it occurred in the first place. It is critical that we protect our Great Lakes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

It’s baffling the Trump Administration is still allowing this to happen. I’m calling on the Senate to pass a bipartisan bill I introduced to stop agencies from incorrectly sending payments to deceased people & save taxpayers millions of dollars. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I’m calling on the Trump Admin. to do the responsible thing and encourage more Coronavirus testing to help slow the spread of COVID-19 & reopen our economy safely. Threatening to end federal funding or slow down testing is reckless and won’t help get Michiganders back to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

With a new school year approaching, teachers & school support staff could face higher risk of exposure to COVID-19. See why @aftmichigan President Dave Hecker says the Senate should pass my #COVID19HeroesFund proposal to support essential workers with pandemic compensation pay. https://t.co/7g7gujh5EC — PolitiTweet.org

RT @HSGAC: Hospitals in Michigan and across the country are still waiting on the Trump Administration to send nearly $72 billion in despera… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

This is a win for the Great Lakes. In the Senate, I’ve repeatedly pressed Canadian and American officials on the dangers of storing nuclear waste around our Great Lakes. I’ll continue fighting against other dangerous efforts. https://t.co/MwDkIy6DdF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Read my statement about why I’m voting not to proceed on the partisan process and flawed JUSTICE Act. https://t.co/aQM4o2hNoH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Hospitals & health care facilities are struggling to keep up w/ the demands of #COVID19 & the Trump Admin has delayed sending these facilities the aid they desperately need. As Ranking Member of @HSGAC, I looked into the impacts of these delays.➡️ https://t.co/BM5bnMxia7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I agree with @MIAttyGen. Enbridge has repeatedly failed to be transparent with Michiganders & we need to know the f… https://t.co/IHT5j1pD4m — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

.@michiganstateu is leading groundbreaking research that will improve food safety and support small producers and processors. This grant, made possible through the bipartisan Farm Bill that I helped pass, will build on MSU’s incredible work. https://t.co/k9IRliCNOp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Communities in Michigan & across the U.S. are experiencing a lack of trust w/ police departments that are sworn to serve & protect them. My bipartisan bill will build stronger relationships between local law enforcement & the neighborhoods they serve.⬇️ https://t.co/NNO89ZMW3J — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Letter carriers like Ben from Farmington Hills are hard at work making sure Michiganders can get their medicine or receive their mail to pay their bills. Read his story – and why I’m fighting to pass my #COVID19HeroesFund proposal. https://t.co/OiIRYPFfd4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I recently spoke w/ rural hospitals & health centers to hear about the challenges they're facing. I'll keep fighting for Michiganders in rural communities by working to: ✅secure more funding for telehealth services ✅increase access to PPE ✅expand testing for rural facilities — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I want to wish all the dads out there a happy #FathersDay. Every single day, I’m lucky to be a father to Gary Jr, Maddy and Alana — and grateful to reflect on the memory of my father. https://t.co/AchjD6HWrz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

We need to address the lack of trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. My Strong Communities Act helps ensure local law enforcement is representative of the local neighborhoods they are in on a daily basis. See more via @Fox2News https://t.co/VhGiAcfo2D — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Flint families are still facing challenges from lead exposure & depend on the Registry led by @MonaHannaA to get wrap-around health & community support services. Proud to join my colleagues in introducing legislation reauthorizing this Registry. https://t.co/555s0tIe4e — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Our front line workers are having their lives upended due to the Coronavirus all while risking their personal health and the health of their families. My #COVID19HeroesFund would make sure workers like Jessica receive extra compensation for their sacrifices. https://t.co/2vSwPgyqLl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I’ll be working w/the federal agency overseeing pipeline safety to learn more about this incident. While I’m encouraged the pipeline was voluntarily shut for now, this is another reminder that Line 5—which is over 65 years old—continues to pose serious risks to the Great Lakes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

We must keep working together so we finally reach the day when all Americans – no matter who you are, where you live or the color of your skin – can pursue their dreams, take care of their loved ones & thrive in a country that lives up to the ideals on which it was founded. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

This moment demands we take action to effectively address disparities & inequities. We must reform our criminal justice system, work to ensure Americans can exercise their right to vote, expand access to quality education & health care, good-paying jobs & safe drinking water. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

On the 155th anniversary of #Juneteenth, we acknowledge the pain & suffering from one of our nation’s darkest periods. The push for systemic change we have seen has reinforced the need for all of us to do our part in heeding the lessons of that painful chapter in our history. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Small businesses shouldn't have to go through bureaucratic red tape to receive support during a pandemic. After calling on the Admin to streamline the Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness app, I’m pleased they’re simplifying it for some borrowers. https://t.co/3eO9AYKyit — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

We need to encourage community policing & address the lack of trust with law enforcement & the communities they serve. Grateful for broad support of my Strong Communities Act & for Sheriff Napoleon & Rev. Bland helping me announce this bill.

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I strongly oppose Nancy Beck’s nomination. PFAS contamination is a crisis in Michigan. That’s why I’ve pressed for action & drinking water standards. Unfortunately Nancy Beck’s record proves that she cannot be trusted to protect Michigan families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Encouraging community policing not only could lead to increased trust and stronger relationships but also greater accountability. — PolitiTweet.org
