WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin, today released the following statement on Senator Gary Peters:
“Gary Peters is a true public servant who has devoted his life to making Michigan and our country better. I join millions of Michiganders in appreciating him for his decades of public service to our state and our nation.
“In the Senate, Gary enjoys a reputation as a no-nonsense, bipartisan legislator. As a veteran himself, he fought tirelessly for those we served. One of his legacies on the Armed Services Committee and as Chairman and Ranking Member on the Homeland Security Committee is protecting our northern border and cementing the critical role of the Northern Border Mission Center at Selfridge Air National Guard Base.
“On a personal note, Gary is a mentor and a dear friend who has gone out of his way to help me and to get my office up and running over the last few months. He and Colleen, who is a force in her own right, will be greatly missed around the Senate. But as Gary himself said, there’s a lot of work to do for Michigan over the next two years – and I look forward to continuing our work together.”
