Friend,

Over the last few weeks in the midst of an unprecedented and uncertain time, Gary has been a tireless leader in the Senate taking on this public health crisis. Most recently, he wrote and introduced a bill to increase how long workers can get unemployment benefits and raise the amount of financial aid they'll receive - and now, it's with the House for a vote.

While there's still so much work left to be done, Gary's bill is a big step forward in an ongoing fight to help workers in Michigan and across the country during this crisis - here's what he's been fighting for:

* Increased maximum unemployment benefits for up to four months
* Secured $150 billion to support hospitals and health care workers
* Provided financial support to small businesses during the pandemic
* Ensured accountability and oversight over how funds are spent


Gary's been fighting for these issues because he knows that no one should have to make the impossible choice between paying their bills or putting food on the table - and his bill would mean that everyone from small business owners to independent contractors would receive critical financial assistance to help them stay afloat during the coronavirus outbreak.

Whether fighting to expand free testing, making sure health care workers have the supplies they need or ensuring that anyone who can't work due to coronavirus receives unemployment benefits, Gary's never forgotten who he works for - people like us. Now, we need to make sure his unemployment insurance bill becomes law. Would you add your name to help us show a swell of support for Gary's Pandemic Unemployment Assistance Act?

While we know there's a long road ahead of us and a lot of work still to be done, these are huge accomplishments to ensure that working families affected by coronavirus can worry about what's really important - making sure they and their loved ones stay healthy and safe.

Thanks for being a part of our fight,

Team Peters
