About

Elected: 2014 (2nd term)

  • Background: Former Navy Reserve veteran; Senate Ukraine Caucus member
  • Committees: Top Democrat on HSGAC; Armed Services, Commerce
  • State: Active Ukrainian community in Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Warren (enormous Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral and community)
  • Ukrainian American community: Warren and Hamtramck are core diaspora centers

Bio Gary Peters is a reliable Democratic ally. As the top Democrat on Homeland Security (HSGAC), he has oversight authority on sanctions enforcement.

Ukraine Record

  • Voted YES on every Ukraine aid package
  • Member of the Senate Ukraine Caucus
  • Not currently a primary UAPortal author

Advocacy Insight

  • Ask them to: Use his HSGAC role to call for oversight hearings on how Russia is evading sanctions, and sign onto the Sanctioning Russia Act (S. 1241), the SHADOW Fleet Sanctions (S. 2904), and the REPO Act (S. 2918).
  • Why it works with them: Detroit-area defense manufacturing (Stryker, GM Defense) builds equipment used in Ukraine. That is a direct Michigan economic argument.
  • Your connection: Mention the Ukrainian communities in Warren and Hamtramck, which are core diaspora centers, and the Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral in the Detroit area.
  • Avoid: Generic asks. Use the HSGAC oversight angle and the Detroit defense industry hook.

Without this bill, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who fled the war and built lives in the U.S. face deportation back to an active war zone. This is the single most urgent protection for Ukrainians in America.

    Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], a constituent from [YOUR CITY/ZIP].
    
    I'm calling to urge Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] to cosponsor H.R. 3104, the Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2025.
    
    Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fled Russia's invasion and are now living in the U.S. on temporary status. They cannot safely return to an active war zone. H.R. 3104 gives them a path to permanent residency. It's bipartisan, it's targeted, and it's the right thing to do.
    
    Will Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] cosponsor H.R. 3104?
    
    Thank you.
