Peters' Final Ride and Michigan's Future | Grand Rapids News

Senator Gary Peters wrapped up his final motorcycle tour of Michigan, stopping at Grand Rapids Community College to see the automation lab he helped fund — a symbol of Michigan’s future in high-tech manufacturing. Though not seeking re-election, he’s ramping up his campaign efforts this fall to keep Michigan blue, backing Abdul El-Sayed and staying deeply involved in the Democratic ticket. He also took aim at President Trump’s stunt renaming Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” calling it unserious and urging focus on real issues like grocery and gas prices — while defending Canada as a vital economic partner. Riding across the new Gordie Howe Bridge, Peters warned that recent U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods threaten cross-border ties. And though no official move has been made, he hinted at a future in education, eager to help shape the next generation’s skills for success.
