The federal gov't has taken a piecemeal approach to manufacturing for too long. I’m proposing a new approach to revitalize U.S. manufacturing, streamline government & support Michigan workers. Learn about my National Institute of Manufacturing Act.➡️ #NIM https://t.co/XdxNUYQfBu https://t.co/KsyUAm876X — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Thank you to the @BBChamber for having @RepHaleyStevens and I join you to discuss how we’re fighting to keep manufacturing strong in Michigan and support our small businesses during these troubling times. https://t.co/vE6muBXknb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Workers across Michigan have been on the front lines – day in and day out – putting themselves at risk so Michigan families and communities can make it through this pandemic. See why @MIAFLCIO is calling for the Senate to advance the #COVID19HeroesFund. https://t.co/8kXUjBiTsU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Underserved communities in #MI & across the U.S. continue to be disproportionately impacted by #COVID19. I’m working to ensure all Michiganders, including African American & Latino communities, get the resources needed during this pandemic & that we address health disparities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

We need more transparency to conduct effective oversight over the PPP program. Today’s disclosure by @SBAgov is a welcome step but our work is not done to ensure that relief is going to small businesses that need help the most, including in underserved communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

We need to ensure this and future generations of students can learn and fully understand American history, including the African American experience. Proud to introduce the 1619 Act to help educators overcome barriers to teaching African American history. https://t.co/0pfud5OVsD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

The Trump Administration wasted $1 billion sending stimulus payments to deceased Americans, placing an unnecessary burden on taxpayers. I released a report outlining this problem and sharing solutions to enact bipartisan, commonsense reforms to prevent future improper payments. https://t.co/1xE1XZGR9x — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Proud to help secure over $5 million for Michigan airports impacted by the pandemic. The funding—supplemented by the CARES Act—will help operations at: @TVC_Airport ✈️ Alpena County Regional ✈️ Muskegon County ✈️ Houghton County Memorial ✈️ @FNTAirport ✈️ Pellston Regional ✈️ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Today’s celebrations may be different but its significance is not. The #FourthofJuly is a day to reflect on the freedoms and values we hold dear, the progress we have made and what can be achieved by working together. Wishing you a happy and safe 4th! https://t.co/NIZTcHjqUN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Access to public transit is critical for Michiganders to get to work or buy essentials like groceries & medicine. Proud to announce a $4.1 million grant for public transit in Holland & Zeeland I helped secure w/ @SenStabenow funded in part by the CARES Act.https://t.co/aMYUYSdQg6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

The Trump Admin must stop its effort to end protections for those with pre-existing conditions and raise health care costs. This is unconscionable & cruel. I’ll keep fighting for Michiganders and am proud to join my colleagues in demanding the Admin. halt their dangerous lawsuit. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

China’s escalating attacks on Hong Kong’s independence are unacceptable. I have continually worked to hold the Chinese government accountable for this type of reprehensible behavior. The President must sign this bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Families, workers and small businesses across Michigan are still grappling with #COVID19 & there is more work to be done. The Senate should not adjourn for two weeks and instead stay in session to deal with this unprecedented economic and health crisis! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

56 years ago, President Johnson & Dr. King stood together as the #CivilRightsAct was signed into law. Today, as Michiganders from all walks of life demand justice, we must recommit to making meaningful change that dismantles systemic racism we’ve seen in our society for too long. https://t.co/sd6VGraxkK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Given the gravity of the reports and after a briefing that left many unanswered questions, it is clear that we need to hear directly from top intelligence and Administration officials on what they knew and when they knew it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Following extremely alarming reports that Russia paid bounties to Taliban militants to carry out attacks and kill coalition and American troops in Afghanistan, we must pursue the facts. https://t.co/enyhmSzOvF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

The PPP is critical to helping Michigan small businesses stay afloat during this unprecedented crisis. Pleased to help the Senate unanimously pass legislation to extend this program, and I urge the House to do the same. https://t.co/gzSb1VawVz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

This is a good first step but more work needs to be done so #MI small businesses can protect themselves against threats to their communications networks. We need to fund the Secure and Trusted Networks Act so #MI small businesses can remove & replace problematic equipment. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Workers on the front lines have been risking their health & safety so all of us can make it through this pandemic. Now we need to make sure we have their backs. Proud to have the support of Nia and @unitehere Local 24 for my #COVID19HeroesFund proposal. https://t.co/Ce1JknKsj8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I’m pleased that the Supreme Court’s decision reaffirms Roe v. Wade and that women have the right to make their own health care decisions. Politicians shouldn't interfere with families facing tragic medical situations and the medical professionals caring for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Now more than ever, we need groups like @patientaccess standing up for health care workers on the front line of this pandemic. Proud to receive their 2020 Champion of Patient Access Award. I’ll keep working to support health care workers risking their well-being on a daily basis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Firefighters continue to honor their commitment to protect & serve their communities during this public health crisis. David, President of Michigan Association of Fire Chiefs, agrees we need to pass my #COVID19HeroesFund proposal to support the first responders risking so much. https://t.co/AzpqSRPNpI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

The Administration must brief Senators immediately on this alarming report that Russia offered bounties for the lives of U.S. servicemembers in Afghanistan. If true, Russia must be held accountable and the Senate must take up legislation to impose sanctions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Medal of Honor recipient Lt. Col. Charles Kettles’ heroic service made him an inspiration in the Armed Forces & across #MI. Proud to work w/ @SenStabenow & @RepDebDingell on a bill to rename the Ann Arbor VAMC in his honor. https://t.co/jwRViGA7iT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I'm honored to receive this recognition from the dedicated @MIHospitalAssoc team. I’ll keep working so quality health care is accessible for all Michiganders & every frontline health care worker has PPE & receives pandemic compensation during this crisis. https://t.co/S3IoE6ofLy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Your zip code should not determine whether or not you can use the Internet. Access to broadband is significantly hurting the African American community in #MI, especially as schools move learning online. I’m working to expand availability to high-speed broadband. https://t.co/WUhNN6bRik — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Appreciated the opportunity to participate in a virtual town hall today with @alzmichigan, answering questions and giving an update on my efforts in the fight to #ENDALZ & ensure Michiganders have the resources they need as we battle #COVID. @alzassociation https://t.co/VuoirHqcYZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

On this day in 2015, #SCOTUS made marriage equality a reality in this country and recognized that love is love. Michiganders April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse blazed a trail for equality and today we celebrate their courage to stand up for what was right. https://t.co/toqwbzpnkS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

I have long championed the U.S.-Israel relationship, Israel's security & a two-state solution. I have serious concerns about Israel’s plans to annex parts of the West Bank; it would undermine the peace process & future negotiations. Read my full letter to @Netanyahu & @gantzbe⬇️ https://t.co/6jzQl9zhGD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters

Art was more than a colleague in the State Senate—he was a dear friend & someone I looked to for guidance. He served Warren, Macomb County and our state with honor. Colleen and I are mourning his loss and thinking of his wife Marsha & his family. https://t.co/gAsBHbTZ1S — PolitiTweet.org
