By providing pandemic premium pay to our front line workers, we will not only be able to reward them for their sacrifice but retain and recruit more essential workers. My #COVID19HeroesFund would help people like Mike better advocate for these workers. #FacesoftheFrontlines https://t.co/tbaJHd8Rmk — PolitiTweet.org

Are you a Michigan small business owner looking for how to apply for federal assistance? I want to be a resource and help cut through the red tape. You can find my guide on how to apply here➡️ https://t.co/JMfksekUwx — PolitiTweet.org

As this public health crisis continues, the brave men & women of law enforcement play a vital role protecting communities across Michigan. My #COVID19HeroesFund proposal would ensure those serving on the front lines like Chris receive extra compensation. #FacesoftheFrontlines https://t.co/wxZbkDjzEd — PolitiTweet.org

The Coronavirus has exposed how wide the broadband gap is in rural areas. We must bridge this digital divide. I’m pushing for increased investment in rural broadband infrastructure w/ @repbenraylujan to help underserved communities. https://t.co/dfOBzhhAcQ — PolitiTweet.org

Had a great virtual meeting w/ the Michigan Assisted Living Assoc & Incompass Michigan to hear what their front line workers face & discuss how my Heroes Fund proposal would provide them extra compensation as they care for seniors & those w/ physical or intellectual disabilities. https://t.co/0R855mnf4B — PolitiTweet.org

Had a great conversation with the Great Lakes Bay Regional Alliance, talking about supporting local small businesses during this pandemic. I'll keep working so these businesses across Michigan have access to funding & support during this crisis. https://t.co/7zvpv6Hhfd — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Nurses across Michigan like MaryLee are caring for some of our most-at-risk populations during this crisis – including our seniors. Our #FacesoftheFrontlines deserve more compensation for their sacrifice during this pandemic. I’ll keep fighting to advance my #COVID19HeroesFund. https://t.co/7KXQeMuwiu — PolitiTweet.org

I'm excited to see the Marinette Marine shipyard was selected by the @USNavy to build the new frigate! I saw some of the amazing work being done at this facility firsthand and know this project will support good-paying jobs for Michiganders and strengthen our nation's defense. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

As the Senate comes back into session, let’s work together to continue addressing this economic & health crisis by: ✅Supporting state & local govts who risk cutting vital services ✅Pushing for my #COVID19HeroesFund ✅Conducting oversight so pandemic aid goes to those in need — PolitiTweet.org

Dave – we didn’t even get into motorcycle talk and how I need a new Passenger Pillion Pad (PPP) for my Harley! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

As the 10th most populous state, it is unacceptable that Michigan ranked 35th in Payment Protection Program funding. Our small businesses need this support & that’s why I pressed @USGAO to examine how this funding was allocated. Via @WOODTV https://t.co/a82TYnLp0o — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I hosted a minority-owned business virtual roundtable w/ representatives from @SBAgov, Detroit CDFI Coalition, & First Independence Bank to answer questions from minority small business owners on new funding available & how to apply for assistance.

As Chief Nursing Officer in a Detroit hospital, Bridget sees firsthand how her staff is risking their safety to care for patients. My #COVID19HeroesFund proposal would help these nurses receive extra compensation for their sacrifice. #FacesoftheFrontlines https://t.co/u0jB33BLmN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Non-profits & faith-based organizations are often sources for info & resources in minority & underserved communities-that’s especially true during this pandemic. These groups get no federal help in this effort to spread trusted info. My proposal to help ⬇️https://t.co/Z9v3r04YdB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

If you're an SSI recipient who did not file a tax return in 2018 or 2019 & have qualifying dependents, you must submit info to the IRS by Tuesday, May 5 to receive your COVID-19 stimulus payment. Michiganders can submit the additional information here ⬇️ https://t.co/K6TWArQQp9 — PolitiTweet.org

I want to wish a happy birthday to my good friend and colleague @SenStabenow. Proud to fight for Michigan alongside you in the Senate each and every day. https://t.co/6i443J80jM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Great news! 60% of Michigan households have already responded to the #2020Census, but we need everyone to get counted so Michigan can get federal support for things like road construction & health care. https://t.co/1MieFOd33x Get counted today! https://t.co/H9SrDpOUA9. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

When our brave health care workers work a shift on the front lines to combat this devastating crisis, they're taking the risk they could contract the virus themselves. Unfortunately, this became a reality for Yvonne from Detroit. Read her story.⬇️ #FacesoftheFrontlines https://t.co/No2rnjrg4C — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I have heard from Michigan small business owners who couldn’t access the 1st round of Payment Protection Program funding. I called for an investigation into how big businesses were able to get this funding, so our small businesses in Michigan can receive the support they need. https://t.co/5SoGWdmaen — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

This #WorkersMemorialDay we honor those injured or who lost their lives on the job. Today's especially solemn as we remember the heroic workers who've contracted or died b/c of COVID-19. Proud to stand in solidarity w/ those fighting for the health & safety of Michigan workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Michigan hospitals & health care providers are under severe financial strain due to COVID-19 & struggling to keep up w/ rising costs. I pressed the Admin. w/ @SenStabenow to make sure they get immediate access to additional funding recently enacted. https://t.co/zD2xDx0HTw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Talked w/ @MIPOAM, @MPFFU & @michiganfop today about steps we can take to provide more support to our first responders & law enforcement. I’ll keep working to advance my #COVID19HeroesFund plan to reward frontline heroes & for more funding for our communities that employ them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Workers on the front lines deserve not only our thanks but to be compensated for their sacrifice. Nurses like Terry from Detroit should be given a pay increase and I’m fighting to make that happens through the COVID-Heroes Fund. #FacesoftheFrontlines https://t.co/lAwIG2nXLI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and the economic driver in many of our local communities. I spoke with members from chambers of commerce across Oakland County today about what they need to get through this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

We have the most talented engineers in the world. The retooling & work that @GM & @Ford are doing to produce ventilators & personal protective equipment makes us proud as Michiganders. This work will help those on the frontlines & is so critical in the fight against Coronavirus. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

During this pandemic, it's important we reward the front line workers who are treating Michiganders, including our nurses. Read Melissa’s story, as the latest in our ongoing #FacesoftheFrontlines series. https://t.co/CFRELapaAJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

ICYMI: As Ranking Member of @HSGAC, I called for an investigation into how the 1st round of funding for the Payment Protection Program was allocated. This @SBAgov program is critical, but we must make sure it’s going to small businesses in need. https://t.co/cj7hH7u0ym — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Companies owned or subsidized by the Chinese government shouldn’t be receiving funding from the CARES Act. I helped lead a bipartisan push calling on the Trump Administration to make sure that doesn’t happen. Read our letter to @FAANews ⬇️https://t.co/ilB84PDW3d — PolitiTweet.org
