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/Ep7TG29Wwb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Michiganders are continuing to grapple w/ the spread of COVID-19 & our Customs & Border Protection Officers are putting themselves at risk to ensure our borders are secure. This is Robert’s perspective on why Congress needs to pass the COVID-19 Heroes Fund. #FacesoftheFrontlines https://t.co/h1zrQ0XWfQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

While increasing SBA loan funding in the CARES Act was critical, I have heard from too many minority-owned small businesses who can’t access these funds. Proud to have helped lead the fight to secure dedicated funding for minority-owned businesses. https://t.co/ZsUyZAxMiM — PolitiTweet.org

Our nurses are on the front lines risking their health to care for their neighbors. Andrea is not only caring for COVID-19 patients but also her spouse who tested positive for the virus. My Heroes Fund proposal would help Andrea and other essential workers. #FacesoftheFrontlines https://t.co/jw15L7vqby — PolitiTweet.org

Without action, families in MI who receive Social Security & have young children may not receive stimulus checks they have been promised. I’ve called on the Admin so these families who aren't required to file taxes can receive their COVID-19 payments. https://t.co/PH8VkXblFi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

My top priority is to ensure that all Michiganders can access critical medical and financial resources during this pandemic. I appreciated the chance to speak with community leaders from Saginaw and Genessee Counties this week on the best next steps for our response efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Senator McConnell’s comments were not only wrong but reckless. Michigan & communities across our state have been devastated by this health & economic crisis. We must have their back, and I’ll keep fighting for Michigan. https://t.co/Btq0ccYzSv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

The brave men and women of law enforcement are continuing to serve our communities during this pandemic while sacrificing their health and safety every day. Mark from Detroit has worked in law enforcement for 33 years and is one of the #FacesoftheFrontlines ⬇️ https://t.co/xqq8e7CKcT — PolitiTweet.org

I joined Michigan tribal leaders for a call this week to discuss the need to bolster COVID-19 response efforts in Native communities & my efforts to make sure CARES Act money meant for Michigan tribes is not diverted to for-profit entities in Alaska.

Congratulations to Fort Custer! Proud of the @MINationalGuard and all they do to support our state's communities and keep us safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I also stopped by @MIArmyGuard Taylor Armory with @SecArmy—where we saw @MichiganTech’s trailer they developed to decontaminate PPE for health care workers. I underscored why it is critical we swiftly get @US_FDA signoff on MTU’s application. I will keep pressing for approval. https://t.co/yNNp6iM46K — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I also appreciated the opportunity to thank our National Guardsmen who have stepped up to deliver PPE, food & more across our state. Thank you for all you do. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Today I toured @FEMA‘s new field hospital at the TCF Center in Detroit with @SecArmy and @RepSlotkin. As a member of the @SASCDems, I’ll continue working with state & federal partners to ensure Michigan has the resources needed to care for Coronavirus patients. https://t.co/4Q04laxdaQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I’ll be highlighting #FacesoftheFrontline to share perspectives from heroic workers across Michigan. Our first is Megan, a nurse from Grosse Pointe Farms. Read more ⬇️ https://t.co/bOhC48j8A2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

The Coronavirus pandemic is affecting every Michigander especially our essential, front line workers. We must provide more than our thanks, we need to take action to support these heroes. That’s why I proposed establishing a COVID-19 Heroes Fund. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

As we recognize #EarthDay50 during an unprecedented public health crisis, I’m calling on the @EPA to reconsider recent policies that harm Michiganders, including the public health of minority communities that have been disproportionately hurt by COVID-19. https://t.co/PZ6vOPKl03 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

.@SBAgov Paycheck Protection Program funds should go to small businesses in Michigan & across the country hit hard by this pandemic. After reports of funds going to large hotel & restaurant chains, I've called on the gov't watchdog @USGAO to investigate. https://t.co/cj7hH7u0ym — PolitiTweet.org

Our COVID-19 front line workers are risking their health and safety. My Heroes Fund proposal would make sure these workers are fairly compensated for the sacrifices they're making. Watch here to learn more ⬇️ https://t.co/HgekKpcZ80 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I pushed for more funding for small businesses, hospitals & testing. The bipartisan Senate-passed bill makes these important investments. But looking ahead, we must also support states & local communities & essential frontline workers. Read my statement⬇️ https://t.co/S3smObATsC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Thanks to @Walmart, @Walgreens, @cvspharmacy & @riteaid for opening new rapid drive-thru testing sites throughout Michigan. We must rapidly expand our testing abilities – and partnerships like this take us one step closer towards identifying and containing the Coronavirus. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

We need to ensure small business funding is actually going to those that need it the most – including minority-owned businesses. I’m pressing Senate leaders to prioritize those that are most hard-hit by this pandemic. Read my letter here & WATCH below: https://t.co/yLxln6EMcu https://t.co/74JAOwwfqz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

On #YomHaShoah we remember the 6 million Jewish women, men and children & millions more killed by the Nazis in the Holocaust. I stand in solidarity w/ the Jewish community in Michigan, across the US & world. We must #NeverForget & keep fighting anti-Semitism & all forms of hate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I’ve heard directly from minority-owned small businesses in Michigan that need our assistance. I'm fighting to make sure underserved communities are supported and that small community-based lenders will be included in future relief legislative bills. https://t.co/yLxln6EMcu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

The Postal Service is continuing to face serious financial challenges because of the Coronavirus pandemic. As part of the CARES Act, I helped negotiate a loan so the Postal Service can continue to serve Michiganders - especially those in the more rural parts of our state. https://t.co/w4eR0AYIdH — PolitiTweet.org

After pushing the Administration, Social Security recipients, Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries & veterans now will automatically receive stimulus checks. https://t.co/aJAJy07EBP — PolitiTweet.org
