WASHINGTON, DC (WKZO AM/FM) – Michigan’s senior U.S. Senator Gary Peters will not seek a third term in 2026.
Peters made the announcement Tuesday morning that he will leave Congress, but says he is not retiring.
He was elected to the U.S. House in 2008 and then the U.S. Senate in 2014. Peters was named the number-one most effective Senator in the 116th and 117th Congresses by the nonpartisan Center for Effective Lawmaking.
Peters was the author and principal sponsor of more bills signed into law than any other member of the House or Senate in his ten years in the U.S. Senate. His bills helped strengthen our national security, support Michigan’s robust automotive manufacturing sector, ensure veterans can receive the benefits they earned in their service, protect our Great Lakes and drinking water, and more.
Peters says he will remain active and busy over the next two years, but says the time is now to turn the office over to someone new.
