One thought on “MI-09: Peters Announcement Creates Buzz”

  1. It’s great to see the excitement from some of the local blogs and the new blogs popping up to talk about Gary.  It has been about 7 years since some of the parts of Gary’s former senate district have had any representation.

    And it’s easy to see why, he’s not just fighting for progressive values, he’s fighting for the movement,

    In the FREEP article;
    “Peters responded by saying he doesn’t know what votes the state chamber is referring to, but that it has a habit of picking votes that make any Democrat look bad.”

    This is the kind of intelligent and effective communication we have been missing for a long time in the 9th district.
