Michigan’s unremarkable US Senator, Gary Peters, has announced that at 66 years old, he’s ready to retire. When his term is up in 2026, Peters said won’t be running for office again. “After three terms in the House and two terms in the Senate, I believe now is time for me to write a few more paragraphs in my current chapter and then turn over the reins,” Michigan’s lackluster senator told his constituents in a YouTube video.
Sorry, Gary, but we’re just not buying it…
When the Gateway Pundit broke the biggest voter fraud story from the 2020 election, the names of US Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) and then-presidential candidate Joe Biden appeared at the top of the Michigan State Police report. The Democrat candidates were the top funders of the dirty group who is allegedly still under investigation by the FBI. Curiously, both Joe Biden and Gary Peters campaigns paid the same exact amount, $242,133 each, to GBI Strategies.
Residents in the state of Michigan were shocked when Gary Peters was re-elected to his senate seat in 2020 by a razor thin margin against his very popular Republican opponent, who is now a United States Congressman, John James.
Almost 3 years after he was “re-elected,” the Gateway Pundit discovered a Michigan State Police report that revealed Gary Peters paid almost a quarter of a million dollars to GBI Strategies, a group that was under investigation by the Michigan State Police, Muskegon Police Department, the MI Attorney General’s office and the MI Secretary of State’s office for turning in between 8,000-10,000 potentially fraudulent voter registrations to a clerk in Muskegon.
While doing work in Michigan, GBI Strategies referred to themselves as “Empower Michigan.” Later in our investigation, we discovered that GBI Strategies/Empower Michigan’s work was not limited to Muskegon. The now-defunct group was sending fake voter registrations in packages to clerks across the state of Michigan from the Staybridge Hotel in Auburn Hills motel and from their headquarters in Southfield, MI. When the Michigan State Police raided their Southfield office, they discovered untraceable pre-paid cards they used to pay their employees, burner phones used by their employees and a cache of guns in a Pelican case in the office, which included semi-automatic rifles with silencers and modified pistols. The investigation was later taken over by the FBI, as they claimed the voter fraud organization was also operating in multiple states. The police reports we obtained and the clips from the FOIA’d videotaped interviews by the MI AG’s office of the primary suspect confirm they were indeed working in several states, including Pennsylvania, Georgia and Florida.
MI AG Dana Nessel, one of Gary Peters’ biggest fans, never mentioned anything to the media about the investigation and certainly never mentioned that Senator Gary Peters and then-presidential candidate Joe Biden were the only two names of customers who paid GBI Strategies for their “work” in the MSP report.
Today, in a post on “X,” AG Nessel, who hid the GBI Strategies investigation and kept Senator Peters name out of the media after it was discovered that his campaign was one of their top customers, thanked Peters for his service.

In 2022, Peters was chosen as the chair of the DSCC (Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee), whose primary function is to fundraise and spend money to help Democrat Senate candidates win races. In 2020, the DSCC gave a whopping $2.1 million to GBI Strategies, more than any other candidate or organization.
Curiously, in 2022, under the direction of the new DSCC Chair, Senator Gary Peters, and while the FBI was investigating GBI Strategies, the DSCC was again, the top customer for GBI Strategies, paying them a whopping $626,872 for their “work?” From the evidence we’ve compiled on the now-defunct voter registration group, they had all but wiped out any online trace of the organization or their owner, Gary Bell by 2022. So what was Gary Peters paying them for?
While GBI Strategies managed to pull down over $600K from the DSCC, it appears that the bulk of their spending, under the leadership of Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) in 2022, went to another “voter registration” group by the name of OTG Strategies. We haven’t been able to find any ties to OTG and GBI or its former owner, Gary Bell, but it’s worth noting that OTG Strategies, like GBI Strategies, doesn’t appear to have any online footprint. Nevertheless, according to Open Secrets, the DSCC, under Peters leadership, paid OTG Strategies an astounding $19.5 MILLION for their services.
In 2024, it appears that the DNC took over as the top customer of OTG Strategies, paying them a whopping $20.3 million for their services, while the DSCC paid them $2.3 million.
Despite massive spending by the DSCC, under the direction of Senator Gary Peters, Democrats lost control of the Senate. Republicans took 53 seats, while Democrats ended up with 47. In Peters home state, against all odds, the unpopular Democrat Rep. Ellissa Slotkin won the US Senate race, while President Trump won the state of Michigan.
In addition to Gary Peters curious ties to the voter registration fraud organization, it’s also interesting that the number one profession listed for top donors to Gary Peters campaigns over the past 5 years is “retired.”
“Smurfs” are a nickname that’s been given to small dollar donors who make repeated donations, sometimes tens of thousands of donations, on the Act Blue donor website. The “smurfs” appear to have been making these donations over a period of a year or sometimes even months. Their repeated small dollar donations are almost always to Democrat candidates running for office or leftist groups who align with the Democrat Party platform. Most of the donors are retired and on a fixed income, many of them, when confronted or asked about the wild number of donations they’ve made, have no idea donations are being made in their name.
In March 2024, OMG founder James O’Keefe visited senior citizens who made thousands and even tens of thousands of small amounts of money to leftist organizations and Democrat candidates.

We will do a deeper dive into donations made by “retired” individuals on ACT Blue to Gary Peters campaigns and hope to share the results of our findings soon. In the meantime, given Michigan’s unremarkable Senator Gary Peters penchant for power, we’re going to take a hard pass on his explanation that he just wants to spend more time at home.
