#GaryPeters doesn’t have plans for after he leaves the #Senate, but a teaching job in academia or #policy work at a think tank fit his interests. He wants to continue to play a role in developing public policy, he said, particularly around ensuring #equitable #access to changes in #technology like #ArtificialIntelligence.

Peters' decision is likely to surprise many of his colleagues & ignite an intense scramble on both sides of the aisle for his seat in battleground #Michigan.

…Sen #GaryPeters has trained much of his focus in #Congress on issues related to Michigan's auto industry, the #GreatLakes, #cybersecurity, #veterans issues, toxic #PFAS contamination & initiatives to make government more efficient. His annual motorcycle tour around the state has become a staple of lawmakers’ August recess.

"I always thought there would be a time that I would step aside & pass the reins for the next generation. I also never saw service in Congress as something you do your whole life," said #GaryPeters, who was first elected to the #Senate in 2014.

"And that goes back to 2008 when I first won that #House seat. I thought it would be for a matter of a few terms that I would serve, & then I would go back to private life."
