“I’m proud of my work with President Obama to successfully save thousands of local jobs by investing in our auto industry,” said U.S. Rep. Gary Peters. “Real leadership requires real results and that’s why I’m proud to run on my record of getting the job done for the hard working families of the Greater Detroit region. Having earned the endorsement of Michigan’s labor unions, nearly 50 Detroit clergy leaders and dozens of local elected officials from across this new 14th district, our momentum is building and, together, we’ll win on August 7th.”
In 2008, Peters worked with President Obama to save the auto industry by making sure they received the loans they needed to survive, succeed and grow – saving thousands of local auto jobs. As just one example of Peters work, GM’s Orion auto plant was able to avoid closing, saving 1,400 local jobs.
“Results” also highlights the broad support Gary Peters has earned from Michigan’s labor unions, including AFL-CIO, UAW, SEIU, AFSCME and MEA. And, just last week, Peters earned the strong and unequivocal endorsement of the Detroit Free Press, which said: “The best choice, by far, is U.S. Rep. Gary Peters, who has set a remarkable standard for effectiveness and influence as a legislator still fairly new to Washington” and that“Peters, hands down, is the best choice.”
Below is the complete list of endorsements Congressman Peters has earned from community leaders, labor unions, clergy leaders and local elected officials.
