Congressman Gary Peters has earned the right to become the next U.S. Senator from Michigan, and voters should give him that opportunity to serve the nation and Michigan at the highest level of our legislative system.
Peters, throughout the campaign, has demonstrated an understanding of the role of a U.S. Senator and will bring that knowledge to bear if he is elected by Michiganders to the world’s most powerful legislative body on Nov. 4.
The issues confronting America, our state and the city of Detroit are so large that we need a person who has not only a grasp of the matters that will come before the Senate, but also knows how to navigate the meandering paths of the legislative process.
Congressman Peters has shown during his time in the U.S. House of Representatives that he can navigate the sometimes difficult waters in Congress and deliver for his constituents. That experience, coupled with his varied experiences serving in similar public bodies in Michigan, has prepared him to represent the interests of Michigan in the Senate where he would be replacing the outgoing Senator Carl Levin, big shoes to fill.
The economy, national security, voting rights, small business development, global trade and foreign policy are among a number of issues that Peters has shown leadership on and we are confident that he will not waver in making sure that taxpayers’ interests are well represented in the Senate.
The office of the U.S. Senate is a powerful one and the office holder should be someone who has demonstrated knowledge of the institution and is keenly aware of how the office can be best utilized in the service of taxpayers. This assignment is not for the unfit and unprepared.
Peters’ opponent, Republican Terri Lynn Land, has not proven that she is up to the task of becoming the next U.S. Senator from Michigan.
At a time when our state is being challenged and our nation is at the epicenter of many issues demanding America’s global leadership, we need members of the U.S. Senate who will stand on the promise of making real the promises of democracy both at home and abroad. Congressman Gary Peters will do just that. Voters should make him the next senator from Michigan so he can get to work for all of us.
