Friends,

In times like these, we all must stand together. Leaders that stretch the limits of their power – to benefit themselves over the people they serve – are not leaders at all. Such abuses of power should not, and cannot, be tolerated. They’re a direct threat to our democracy. 

This is what’s at stake right now in our country. 

And in a democracy, it’s not just about what goes on inside the White House. It’s not just about rulings in the courts and about actions within Congress. It’s the sum of all of that. It’s checks and balances. That’s why it’s so important for the Senate, as a democratic institution, to demand and enforce accountability, honesty and transparency. 

I didn’t come to Washington to advance any extreme political agenda. I’m here for Michiganders. And so long as I’m here, I’ll fight tooth and nail for Michigan families. I’ll fight to protect our democratic institutions. But with everything going on, it’s crucial for me to step back and take a moment to hear what’s most concerning to you, which is why I’m reaching out to get your feedback.

Amidst all the chaos, I want to know what’s on your mind: Can you take just a moment to let me know what issues are most important to you right now? You can use this link: https://surveys.signforgood.com/GP-Priority-Sep-Survey

When we’re faced with crises, it’s important that we speak up.

Thank you, 

Gary Peters
