Welcome

Hello, welcome to my online office. I believe that effectively representing Oakland County communities in Congress requires ongoing communication with local residents.  This site is designed to provide you with a way to share your views with me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and for me to keep you up-to-date on important issues that affect our region and country.  This site provides one central location for you to get information on issues and legislation, access services that I can provide and tell me what's on your mind whenever you like.  I believe that a Member of Congress should do more listening than talking, so please feel free to contact me frequently.

Thanks so much,

Gary Peters

 

***HOUSE APPROVES PETERS’ BILL TO PROMOTE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY VEHICLE DEVELOPMENT AND CREATE MICHIGAN JOBS***

The U.S. House of Representatives has approved legislation introduced by Congressman Gary Peters to spur the production of new advanced technology vehicles in the United States!  The bill will authorize nearly $3 billion for advanced technology vehicle research and development.  This will reduce America's dependence on foreign oil and create jobs in Michigan. The bill was supported by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Manufacturers, the Big Three automakers, numerous auto suppliers and industry associations, the UAW and prominent environmental organizations.

Thank you for sharing your voice on Health Care

Thank you to everyone who has shared their thoughts with me on reforming our nation’s health care system in recent months.  Whether at one of my five health care roundtables, health care town halls and public forums or at one of the dozens of public community organization meetings across Oakland County, the discussions we’ve had have been substantive, civil and meaningful.  Health care reform continues to move through the legislative process and I want to continue to hear from as many of you as possible. Please click here to send me your thoughts on the best solutions for making our health care system more affordable and more stable.  For more information on efforts to make health care more affordable for families and businesses click here.
