Gary Peters: Push for Great Lakes restoration efforts & oil cleanups

But in taking on Gary Peters, John James is taking on someone who can point to specific actions taken to address potential oil spills in the Straits of Mackinac, question spending by the Trump White House and government agencies, and push for Great Lakes restoration efforts. Peters can also note legislative victories on bills he has helped pass with Republicans--including those protecting rights of service members.
