Sen. Gary Peters has been honored to represent the State of Michigan in the U.S. Senate since 2015. He has focused on uniting our communities by fighting for the things we all agree on — a stronger economy, good-paying jobs, affordable health care, a secure retirement and an opportunity for everyone to succeed.
Peters currently serves as Ranking Member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which is the Senate’s top oversight committee. He also serves on the Appropriations Committee, Armed Services Committee, and the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee.
Throughout his time in the Senate, Peters has made bipartisan, effective lawmaking the cornerstone of his service. Peters is the first senator in more than four decades to be named the most effective U.S. Senator by the Center for Effective Lawmaking three times in a row. Peters also authored more bills signed into law during the 117th Congress than any Senator in more than 40 years, according to the Congressional Research Service and the Senate Historical Office.
