People continue to need access to reliable & affordable public transit during this pandemic. @SenStabenow & I announced @StarsSaginaw will receive a $5.6 million grant through the #CARESAct allowing Michiganders to get to work or buy groceries & medicine. https://t.co/x7I23Bve5K — PolitiTweet.org

A top-to-bottom review of our criminal justice system hasn’t happened in 50 years. That’s why I’m working to advance my bill to establish a National Criminal Justice Commission. It has the support of Republicans, Democrats, law enforcement and civil rights groups. @WNEMTV5news https://t.co/GoZvmikYyT — PolitiTweet.org

This Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month — and during these challenging times — let’s recognize the strength of Michigan’s Alzheimer’s community. I’ll keep working to support those battling this devastating disease, their loved ones and caregivers. #ENDALZ #InThisTogether — PolitiTweet.org

Unfair trade practices have devastated our Michigan cherry growers. After pushing for action, I’m glad the ITC will gather additional information on dried cherry imports so that our growers can compete on a level playing field. https://t.co/8EPxBvMYjR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Today, I hope you’ll join me in honoring the brave men & women who risked everything to fight for freedom. As the son of a WWII veteran, I’m especially grateful for the service & sacrifice of those who stormed the beaches of Normandy & those who fought against tyranny. #DDay76 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

This year’s #PrideMonth will look significantly different from past years. But I’m proud to stand with Michigan’s LGBTQ+ community as we reflect on all the progress made—and the work to be done in the fight for equality. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

The Paycheck Protection Program needed fixing to ensure it works for small businesses — in Michigan & across the country — that need help the most. Pleased this bipartisan legislation I helped pass is now law & will make important improvements. https://t.co/3emn37KLqr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

As we commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Jones Act, we recognize its importance to Michigan & the Great Lakes. It not only ensures cargo moving between U.S. ports is carried aboard vessels that are American-built, owned and flagged, but is critical to our homeland security. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

The murder of George Floyd was horrific and the latest, tragic example of the systemic issues we must address in this country. Watch here to see how I'm working in a bipartisan way to reform our broken criminal justice system with a top-to-bottom-review. https://t.co/jbORqsbl4m — PolitiTweet.org

8 minutes, 46 seconds. That’s how long George Floyd was restrained with a knee on his neck. I joined my colleagues for 8 minutes & 46 seconds of silence to honor George Floyd—and other African Americans senselessly killed. Our justice system needs fixing. We must work together. https://t.co/Ck6TMVNb0D — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I’m continuing conversations with faith leaders across Michigan. I joined Rev. Bland & the Council of Baptist Pastors of Detroit and Vicinity to discuss how we can work together. We must act now to reform our criminal justice system so it works for every American. https://t.co/7WjCq2Y84s — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I urge the President to de-escalate tensions & encourage compassion. Our fellow Americans are hurting & we need to work together to address the root causes of inequities & reform our criminal justice system so it works for all Americans — no matter who you are or where you live. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

In this extraordinarily challenging time, instead of bringing people together and helping our reeling nation heal, President Trump has sowed division, fanned the flames of discord with inflammatory rhetoric & threats of escalation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

In communities across Michigan and our nation, many people are exercising their fundamental right to peacefully protest. We also have seen rioting and destruction that does not advance the fight for equality and justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

As a former Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy Reserve and member of the @SASCDems, I’m alarmed by the President’s threat to use the U.S. military for law enforcement — instead of civilian law enforcement agencies — in cities throughout our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

We're in an incredibly challenging & divided moment, but I believe we have an opportunity to come together & make meaningful reforms. We must act now to address the root causes of inequities & reform our criminal justice system so it works for every American. Read my statement ⬇ https://t.co/b4izFnpOqw — PolitiTweet.org

Outrageous. Students who were scammed by for-profit institutions shouldn’t be burdened with student loan debt. I’ll continue to stand up against @BetsyDeVosED’s policies that hurt Michigan students. — PolitiTweet.org

Staff at @VADetroit reported shortages of critical medical supplies and personal protection equipment needed to perform their jobs during this pandemic. I’m pressing the @DeptVetAffairs for answers. — PolitiTweet.org

Making sure our small businesses have access to support is absolutely critical. I met virtually w/ small businesses in Detroit this morning to hear about the different challenges they're facing. Visit my website for a list of small business resources ➡️ https://t.co/vE36A69y31 — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud to represent a strong & vibrant Asian American community that's part of the diverse fabric of our state, contributing so much as leaders in businesses & communities across Michigan. We celebrate these achievements during #AAPIHeritageMonth & we remember Vincent Chin. — PolitiTweet.org

PFAS contamination and exposure continues to be an expanding threat. Great to see @michiganstateu taking the lead in researching just how dangerous these chemicals are to our health and environment. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

George Floyd’s death was absolutely unconscionable and my heart breaks for his family. Justice must be served, doing so would help prevent senseless tragedies like this in the future. As we move forward, we must work together to heal as a nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Very alarmed at reports of domestic violence on the rise during #COVID19 pandemic. I'm working in a bipartisan way to ensure domestic violence shelters that take pets will receive the resources they need to support survivors. ⬇️ https://t.co/4LpDHcs2Bf — PolitiTweet.org
