Stabenow, Peters taking seniority with them

First Debbie Stabenow.

Now Gary Peters. And in a nano second of political reality, Michigan will go from having a wealth of seniority and swagger/influence in the U.S. Senate to being two years away from having virtually none.

Ouch. Such is the story line on the decision by U.S. Senator Stabenow to hang it up leaving behind her chairpersonship of the Senate Agriculture committee which Michigan farmers reveled in having. In 2026 when Senator Peters ends his Senate run all of his seniority on important committees is out the window, too.
