Sen. Gary Peters calling for “Heroes Fund” to pay essential workers extra $13 an hour
To recap, @GaryPeters doesn't have answers for small business owners who are looking for relief. Instead, he's busy playing along with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi's political games. #MISen

.@stabenow .@GaryPeters. That was a horrible townhall. U guys didn't directly answer over 1/2 of the questions. Really disappointing #iWantMyTimeBack

Thank you @DevinScillian for getting the question out there! @SenStabenow answer not very reassuring, but hoping for the best! Stoping of interest on student loans short term help - go bigger - help our college students!

How does @GaryPeters propose Michigan voters BUY healthcare from the exchanges which are notoriously unaffordable with no jobs and no money? Maybe Michigan needs a public healthcare model the country can follow
