The 2020 flood devastated communities like Sanford. But thanks to their strength — and federal support — Sanford is recovering.   It was great to visit the village on my motorcycle tour and discuss my efforts to remove barriers to federal disaster relief. wnem.com/2024/08/09/mot…

The Soo Locks are the definition of critical infrastructure. Even a brief shutdown could block large freighters & send our entire economy into a recession. I secured funding to keep construction of a second Poe-sized lock on track & I'll keep pushing until the project is done.

The Great Lakes are part of Michiganders’ DNA. We’ll go the extra mile to ensure they’re protected for future generations. When it's completed the FishPass project in Traverse City will help keep invasive fish species out of Lake Michigan. I'm proud to support its construction.

Two weeks ago yesterday, I kicked off my motorcycle tour. One of my first stops was the National Guard Armory in Wyoming, MI. I'm hard at work delivering funds that armories all across Michigan & our country need to modernize. Great seeing how they'd be put to use up close.

Building a second Soo Lock that can handle the largest of the Great Lakes freighters is essential for our economic security. I've been working hard to secure resources to keep construction on track, and I'll keep pushing until the project is done. sooleader.com/local-news/sen…

Happy move-in weekend to college students all across Michigan! Wishing you all the best in the upcoming academic year.

With the first day of school fast approaching for most of Michigan, I want to thank all the teachers who've been working so hard to get their classrooms ready.   As the proud product of Michigan public schools, I know that I wouldn't be where I am today without my teachers.

I was honored to address the NGAUS Conference in Detroit this weekend.   The men and women of our National Guard answer the call every single day to keep us all safe — and I am forever grateful for their service.

Congratulations to the Michiganders representing our nation at the Paralympic Games! You make us all proud.

My favorite way to travel across our beautiful state is by motorcycle. But I know it can be a dangerous way to travel.   That's one of the reasons I'm pushing to make roadways in Michigan and across the country safer for everyone — including riders. cyclenews.com/2024/08/articl…

Almost 108,000 Americans, including nearly 3,000 Michiganders, died from overdose in 2022.   Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day, we honor those we've lost & stand together in the fight to #EndOverdose.   Learn how you can help stop overdoses ⬇️ cdc.gov/stop-overdose/…

Chris from Grand Rapids served our country for years. So when I learned that he had to pay for expensive repairs to his roof or face possible eviction, I knew we had to step in. My team connected Chris to a local repair service, and got his roof fixed — free of charge.

My heart breaks for the families of Hersh Goldberg-Polin and the five other hostages murdered by Hamas terrorists. May their memories be a blessing. We must do everything in our power to secure the safe release of the remaining hostages and end this deadly conflict.

Happy Labor Day! Today we celebrate the men & women of the labor movement who sacrificed so that all American workers could have the chance to thrive. Unions created the middle class & still provide opportunities for working families across the U.S. I'll always stand with labor.

Mental health telemedicine is vital in Michigan, where 38 of our 83 counties currently lack a behavioral health provider. I’m proud to support this commonsense, bipartisan bill to remove a barrier that's preventing folks from getting the care they need. peters.senate.gov/newsroom/press…

The U.P. is truly somewhere special. There’s nowhere else quite like it, and I’m proud to represent the folks who call it home. Happy 906 Day!

Firefighters have our backs every day, and I'm making sure we have theirs.   I'm proud to have secured more than $2 million to support fire departments across Michigan thanks to my bipartisan Fire Grants and Safety Act that was signed into law this year. peters.senate.gov/newsroom/press…

Can’t wait to watch the Detroit Lions kick things off in prime time tonight! We’ve got a chance for a really special season. #OnePride
