Keep Peters in Senate

-

Gary Peters is the best choice for Michigan’s U.S. Senator. He has proven to be a strong supporter of educating all students in Michigan and advancing technical and vocational training opportunit­ies.

Advanced education is not everyone’s choice, but it was mine. As I pursue my career, I have learned a lot about educationa­l opportunit­ies and the need for technology training. In pursuing my ambitions, I was determined not to become weighed down by debt. I have been a lifelong Michigan resident but have spent the past 5 years studying abroad because I was able to receive full funding from other countries.

In contrast to his opponent, who seeks to continue the pattern of diverting public education funds, Gary Peters plans include investing in solutions that will benefit all students. This year, Peters’ bipartisan law helped to close the digital divide between rural and urban communitie­s. Peters’ action strives to ensure that a child’s education should not be determined by their zip code. Peters helps pave the way for either path by promoting legislatio­n to expand career and technical education and passing legislatio­n to help with student loans. Expanding education and technology accessibil­ity in Michigan and nationally will allow us to be innovative, globally-competitiv­e, and fiscally sound in the future. That is why I am asking my fellow Michigande­rs to not be swayed by Peters’ opponent, who charismati­cally comes up with ideas, but lacks the understand­ing and follow-through. Vote to re-elect Senator Gary Peters.
