Gary Peters: “We need to ensure that our fishing communities thrive.”

“United States Coast Guard search and rescue units play a vital role in ensuring the safety of Michigan’s Great Lakes communities, and I’m thrilled that full operations are returning to Station Saginaw River in Essexville,” said Senator…

“While this is a positive step forward, the job is not finished until full operations are restored at every impacted Coast Guard station in Michigan, and I’ll keep pushing until that happens.”

I feel deeply honored to receive this recognition and I’m thrilled to celebrate this new community space alongside residents and partners.

I commend James Avery, Justus Thigpen Sr., and all the folks who are leading the charge on this revitalization project, and I was proud to be a federal partner in their efforts.
