We need to work to address the lack of trust between law enforcement & the communities they are sworn to protect. I introduced the bipartisan Strong Communities Act to incentivize people to serve in law enforcement in the communities they call home. https://t.co/ZskRGbMnS5 — PolitiTweet.org

We must protect places in #MI like Sleeping Bear Dunes & Keweenaw National Historical Park—now & for future generations. Proud to help pass the bipartisan Great American Outdoors Act to protect these treasured places in #MI & across the U.S., which are also vital to our economy. https://t.co/Wy1ha4CKDF — PolitiTweet.org

It’s Michigan Census Day! The 2020 count will be a roadmap for the next decade, determining how resources are distributed to our schools, roads & hospitals. Help ensure Michigan gets the resources & representation it deserves. Go to https://t.co/2S7CimKG5v to get counted today! https://t.co/xSktHMuzLS — PolitiTweet.org

Linda, like many front line workers, is making tough sacrifices during this pandemic by staying in a camper between shifts so her husband isn’t exposed to the virus. My #COVID19HeroesFund proposal would help make sure these front line workers get extra compensation. https://t.co/lzYjU32j1G — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Thousands of Michigan families were forced from their homes after severe flooding devastated their communities. Proud to join my colleagues in the Michigan delegation to urge the President to approve @GovWhitmer’s request for a major disaster declaration. https://t.co/BUk8S3vSWL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

It's long overdue for The Blue Water Bridge to receive federal funding for an expanded customs plaza. I'm proud to have supported the grant application. It’s critical to St. Clair County’s economy international commerce & our national security. https://t.co/LHTKqCHzJE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

As the #COVID19 pandemic continues, Michiganders like Martha & her daughter are still facing an increased threat of catching the virus each time they show up to work. My #COVID19HeroesFund proposal would make sure all front line workers are fairly compensated for the sacrifices. https://t.co/d6tJijmkA9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Michigander Aimee Stephens did not live to see this day, but today we honor her and carry on this fight in her memory. While this is a major step forward we have a lot of work to do, including passing the Equality Act. https://t.co/zDBWcRcpnr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

This is a historic day for LGBTQ+ rights and equality in this country. Nobody should face discrimination in the workplace or fear losing their job for who they are or who they love. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

❌No evidence ❌Denied basic care until he needed life-saving surgery ❌No contact with family for a year ❌Threatened by security Paul Whelan should not be held as a political prisoner. He needs to come home to his family. It’s time for Russia to stop these political games. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Reforming our criminal justice system in this country not only requires immediate changes but a broader review of the entire system. My bipartisan National Criminal Justice Commission Act would help find long-term solutions needed to ensure it works for all Americans. https://t.co/CxjgJs6ZD9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

This is a step in the right direction for the residents of Oscoda & the veterans who served there. I'll keep working to pressure the @usairforce to swiftly clean up the pollution & protect Michigan families who have endured many hardships due to PFAS. https://t.co/Gwa84KPqPT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Happy Birthday to the @USArmy. Thank you for 245 years of serving and protecting our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Everyday heroes are continuing to step up and serve their communities during this pandemic. People like Dana, a single mother of three who is part of Plumbers Local 98, deserve pandemic pay. I’m continuing to push to advance my #COVID19HeroesFund to make it a reality. https://t.co/Rex5zicTfr — PolitiTweet.org

Are you a Michigan small business facing challenges because of the Coronavirus pandemic? Check out my small business guide about the federal resources that may be available to you. ⬇️ https://t.co/WTn3sUVgFx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I pressed @usairforce to act quicker to clean PFAS around Wurtsmith because the people of Oscoda have waited too long. While I’m encouraged the Air Force is soon awarding a contract to better control PFAS in the area, we can’t take our foot off the pedal. https://t.co/ToorBv7nwY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Whether serving in uniform abroad, on the front lines of the #COVID19 pandemic or in our defense sector, Michiganders continue to play a vital role in strengthening our national security. Click below to learn about my provisions in this year's NDAA. ⬇️ https://t.co/t43v7DmG7A — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

It was great to join the @GoldmanSachs 10,000 Small Businesses program to talk with Michigan’s small businesses about the PPP Flexibility Act and other ways we can help them bounce back from this economic crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Proud to be recognized for my work to solve problems through bipartisanship. I’ll continue working to achieve results for Michigan: from supporting small businesses and manufacturers to expanding apprenticeships and skills trainings. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Small businesses are the engine of our state’s economy & helping them bounce back from the impacts of #COVID19 is critical. I’ll keep fighting to ensure small business owners across #MI can access the federal resources they need to recover from this crisis. https://t.co/2ftJtRtpkO — PolitiTweet.org

I will be working to advance needed reforms and believe in this moment it is critical to protect the safety of our citizens and we must also focus on making investments to address longstanding inequities in our society, including economic, health and education disparities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I am also working to advance my bipartisan National Criminal Justice Commission Act to conduct a top-to-bottom review of our justice system—something that last happened in 1965 and is long overdue. I’m also working on a community policing bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

The bills I support would include banning the use of chokeholds and improve officer training and accountability by establishing independent reviews into police-involved use of deadly force. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

THREAD: We must address inequities and racial disparities and part of our effort must include making commonsense reforms to policing. There are a number of bills I am supporting that the Senate should pass. https://t.co/LgiNCZmRRx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I say this as a former Lt. Commander in the Navy Reserve & member of the Senate Armed Services Committee: military bases shouldn't be named after confederates. There are American heroes in our history who demonstrated the values of our nation in service & earned such an honor. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Women, including African American women & women of color, should receive equal pay for equal work. On the anniversary of the #EqualPayAct, let's reaffirm our commitment to closing the wage gap. It’s past time we vote on the #PaycheckFairnessAct, which I proudly cosponsored. https://t.co/4t5h5saZzL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Pleased to join @wwcnaacp's virtual event, answer questions & give an update on #COVID19 resources, racial disparities, criminal justice & policing reforms. Great to hear from members & I'll keep working so we can emerge from this economic & health crisis & address inequities. — PolitiTweet.org
