Michigan Milk Producers Endorse Gary for U.S. Senate

Press Release

The Michigan Milk Political Action Committee (MMPAC) has announced their endorsement of Congressman Gary Peters for U.S. Senate in the November General Election.

"Congressman Peters has an understanding of the significant role the dairy and agriculture industries plays in Michigan," says MMPAC Chairman and dairy farmer Ken Nobis. "Congressman Peters showed his leadership and commitment to the ag industry when it came time to vote for the 2014 Farm Bill, standing by us to see the successful passage of the legislation. MMPAC believes in supporting candidates who exhibit a willingness to work with us and support us when issues impacting our members surface. We see that commitment in Congressman Peters."

"I'm proud to have the support of Michigan milk producers who help make our dairy products the best in the country and the world," Peters said. "Michigan is blessed with abundant natural resources and our milk producers play a critical role in making Michigan agriculture one of the most important sectors in our economy. In the U.S. Senate, I will continue to fight for common-sense policies to ensure our milkproducers, farmers, small businesses can continue to grow and succeed."

"Dairy farmers and their industry partners are an important part of the ever-growing $96 billion food and agriculture economy in Michigan," Nobis says. "It is essential for us to have people like Congressman Peters in leadership positions who have the understanding of our issues to make sound decisions that will help our industry continue to grow."

MMPAC will release its complete list of endorsements prior to the general election.

The MMPAC is the political action committee of the Michigan Milk ProducersAssociation, a member-owned and operated dairy cooperative serving dairy farm families in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin.
