United States Senator (Democratic) from Michigan.
Case
A whistleblower alleges DHS officers were told to misrepresent themselves on state voter portals. Released training permits searches but does not show that instruction. Secretary Mullin denies it.
Case
An issue tracker recording where members of Congress and 2026 midterm candidates stand on the unauthorized Iran war, based on their votes on war-powers resolutions, campaign statements, and public remarks.
Role at the time: U.S. senator and ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee; lead signatory
Statement summary
Peters and other senators say a whistleblower alleged that DHS staff were told to impersonate voters on state portals. They call the alleged conduct alarming if true and demand an end to the initiative and further information.
“If true, this is just another alarming effort by the Department to use data that USCIS materials admit may be inaccurate”
The signed letter explicitly makes its negative judgment conditional on the whistleblower allegation being true.
Role at the time: U.S. Senator, Michigan
Statement summary
Gary Peters voted yea on H.Con.Res. 89, a vote to direct the removal of U.S. forces from unauthorized hostilities with Iran.
“On the Concurrent Resolution H.Con.Res. 89: A concurrent resolution directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.”
Voted to direct the removal of U.S. forces from unauthorized hostilities with Iran, a vote to end U.S. involvement absent congressional authorization.
Role at the time: U.S. Senator, Michigan
Statement summary
Gary Peters voted YEA on H.Con.Res. 86, a vote to direct the removal of U.S. forces from unauthorized hostilities with Iran absent congressional authorization.
“On the Concurrent Resolution H.Con.Res. 86: Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.”
The vote directs the removal of U.S. forces from hostilities Congress never authorized, which this tracker treats as opposition to the war's continuation.
Role at the time: U.S. Senator, Michigan; Ranking Member, Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee
Statement summary
Peters said there was no evidence of the imminent threat that would justify the strikes on Iran, criticized Republican colleagues as 'a rubber stamp to the president,' and pressed the Defense Department for a clear strategy and exit plan, saying his constituents 'do not want to send their sons and daughters to war.'
“The president needs to protect us, and we want him or her to do that if there's an imminent threat. But that didn't occur here as far as we can see, there's no evidence.”
Denies the war's stated justification (no imminent threat) and demands congressional oversight, a direct challenge to the war's legitimacy.
