Gary C. Peters
Since the current Congress began on January 3, 2025, Peters has a recorded vote on 38 laws that passed.
This record covers laws that passed. Votes on bills that did not become law are not included yet.
The record in plain language
Of the 118 laws passed since January 3, 2025, 38 came to a recorded vote in the Senate while Peters is a member. The rest passed the Senate by voice vote or without objection, which records no individual votes.
Peters votes Yes on the Laken Riley Act on immigration detention, the HALT Fentanyl Act, the defense policy law for fiscal year 2026, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act and the Russia and Iran sanctions law.
On funding the government, Peters votes Yes on the February 2026 funding law for a further group of agencies and the September 2026 funding extension, and No on the March 2025 full-year funding law and the November 2025 law that ended the 43-day shutdown.
Peters votes No on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the 2025 tax and spending law; the GENIUS Act on stablecoins (digital tokens pegged to the dollar); the Rescissions Act of 2025, which cancelled about $9 billion in approved spending; and the Secure America Act, a 2026 budget law.
Congress cancelled 24 federal rules by recorded vote in the Senate in that time. Peters votes to cancel 0 and against cancelling 24.
Peters votes differently from most Senate Democrats on 2 of 37 Yes and No votes: Yes on the February 2026 funding law for a further group of agencies and Yes on the Laken Riley Act on immigration detention.
Peters did not vote on the January 2026 funding law for science, energy, Interior and the EPA.
