The Democrats of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. Led by Ranking Member @SenGaryPeters.
Joined March 2013
Ranking Member @SenGaryPeters' new report found that the 19 independent Inspectors General fired by President Trump identified billions more in taxpayer savings than DOGE. Trump’s actions not only undermine efforts to reduce waste – they send a message of intimidation.

This is a clear-cut example of how President Trump is using his office to line his own pockets. Accepting millions from foreign investors who are trying to buy influence with the White House is corruption.

Critical information sharing protections that help prevent cyberattacks are set to expire this year. Ranking Member @SenGaryPeters received @Sec_Noem’s word that the Administration supports extending this important law to strengthen our cyber defenses.

Congress’s independent, non-partisan watchdog has confirmed: The Trump Administration is breaking the law by blocking funds approved by Congress on a bipartisan basis. Using this money as Congress directed is NOT optional – the President must follow the law.

We are deeply saddened by Rep. Gerry Connolly’s passing. As the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee and a vocal advocate for federal workers, he was a strong partner in our work to make government more effective, strengthen cybersecurity and protect the Postal Service.

When Ranking Member @SenGaryPeters visited Guantánamo, he learned that the Trump Administration is spending $100k a day per detainee. Today he pressed @Sec_Noem about this outrageous waste of taxpayer dollars.

Ranking Member @SenGaryPeters has introduced bipartisan legislation to address gaps in our critical drug supply chains. The MAPS Act seeks to improve visibility and coordination across our essential medicine supply chains, bolstering preparedness and mitigating drug shortages.

Two months after unanimous Senate approval, House Republicans are still restricting D.C.’s ability to spend its own money by delaying the city’s budget-fix bill. Until they act, the city risks deep cuts to vital services like public safety, education, and sanitation.

Yesterday, Acting FEMA Administrator Cameron Hamilton testified before Congress that FEMA should not be eliminated. Today, he was fired. In the Trump Administration, speaking up for Americans’ best interests is a fireable offense.

Ranking Member @SenGaryPeters is calling on Chairman @SenRandPaul to convene an oversight hearing examining the Trump Administration’s multiple federal court rulings posing a direct challenge to our nation’s constitutional system of checks and balances and rule of law.

Ranking Member @SenGaryPeters has reintroduced the Securing America’s Ports of Entry Act to address @CBP staffing shortages across the country. Ensuring America’s ports of entry are fully staffed helps border states like Michigan remain international commerce hubs.

Ranking Member @SenGaryPeters is calling on @Sec_Noem to restore @FEMA’s Building Resilient .Infrastructure and Communities program. Upgrading our infrastructure to withstand natural disasters saves lives and saves taxpayer dollars on recovery costs.

Protections that encourage companies to share information about cyberattacks are set to expire, but these threats remain a serious risk. @SenGaryPeters is working to ensure those protections stay in place to prevent breaches and protect Americans’ sensitive personal data.
Exclusive from @timstarks: @SenGaryPeters, @SenatorRounds tee up bill to renew expiring cyber threat information sharing law.

The Administration risks wasting taxpayer dollars without strong, qualified and independent officials to protect against waste, fraud and abuse.
First in @BGOV: Senate Democrats, led by Gary Peters, are pushing to reinstate agency watchdogs after Trump dismissed more than a dozen inspectors general a week ago. No Republicans joined the push
