The American people have seen DHS officers’ unjustified actions and excessive force with their own eyes. I’m pushing for commonsense reforms to improve safety and hold DHS accountable.

One year into Trump’s term, his chaotic tariffs are only pushing higher prices on you. Americans deserve a better economic plan than this.

Trump gave this economy an A+++++, while Michiganders are seeing prices go up and up. We need sound policies that lower costs.

"Let China come in," he said.

President Trump wants to open the door to foreign adversaries like China who will undercut our automakers and pose a major national security risk. Michigan companies and workers should be building the future of the auto industry.

American servicemembers and communities deserve access to safe drinking water, free of toxic PFAS chemicals.

I secured language in the national defense bill to help hold Trump's Defense Department accountable for PFAS contamination at military installations all across the country.

FCC Commissioner Gomez is right. This FCC’s unprecedented threats against broadcasters are already suppressing free speech by sending the message that media companies hosting content critical of the President will invite government retaliation. That is censorship and not what America stands for.
December 22, 2025 at 4:02 PM
Free speech is fundamental to our country. When the FCC threatens to revoke media licenses just because the President gets offended, it’s a direct attack on Americans’ First Amendment right.

This is simply going in the wrong direction. We should work to strengthen VA health care for veterans and their families, not eliminate tens of thousands of positions needed to deliver the quality, timely care our veterans have earned.

Michiganders are bearing the costs of Trump’s cuts to health care and Republicans’ refusal to address the health care affordability crisis. We must extend the Affordable Care Act premium subsidies to give Americans some financial relief right now.

Secretary Hegseth needs to stop roadblocking Congress on these boat strikes in the Caribbean. Senators from both parties are demanding transparency. The American people deserve to know exactly what happened and why.

Today, we honor the 2,403 Americans that were lost during the tragic attack on Pearl Harbor.
 
Let us honor the brave servicemembers who took up the mantle to protect our nation and defeat tyranny. We will never forget their sacrifices.

Trump’s Big Ugly Bill is making made health care way more expensive. And his “concepts” of a plan to fix it aren’t good enough.
December 5, 2025 at 4:35 PM
Nearly half of Americans worry they won’t be able to afford essential health care next year.

We must take action now to prevent health care costs from rising even more. news.gallup.com/poll/698042/...
December 4, 2025 at 5:40 PM
Dr. Brown is right – our commitment to veterans must go beyond just a 'thank you.' It's about showing up to make sure they get the benefits they earned, like health care, workforce opportunities, and a dignified burial. We should all be behind that.
December 3, 2025 at 2:46 PM
Michiganders are facing higher costs and the Trump Admin’s denial of disaster relief is now driving up their electricity prices even more.

Federal assistance eases the burden on communities when disasters strike. These denials are a betrayal to Michiganders who need help.

Thinking back to our “Miles for Michigan” motorcycle tour this year 🏍️

I’m always thankful to everyone for coming out to meet with me on the tour to discuss the issues that matter to our great state.

I’ve always said a motorcycle is the best way to get from point A to B, but we all know riders face safety risks.

My bill with Senator Ernst would help equip drivers with up-to-date safety information to keep both themselves and riders safe on our roads. www.peters.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

Michigan small businesses are the backbone of our economy. But right now they are facing chaotic tariffs, high inflation, and rising health care costs. I was glad to meet with them here in DC to talk about how we work to lower costs and make sure our economy works for them.
November 18, 2025 at 7:13 PM
President Trump promised to slash electricity costs in half. Today, Americans in almost every state, including Michigan, are facing higher bills.
November 13, 2025 at 9:38 PM
We must bring down costs and make everyday life more affordable. Michiganders can’t continue to afford these rising prices.
November 13, 2025 at 5:39 PM
There are fewer health plans available on Michigan’s marketplace for next year, and it’s hurting Michiganders’ wallets right now.

This directly relates to the expiring ACA tax credits, Trump’s tariffs, and Republicans’ massive health care cuts this year.
