Peters launched career at grassroots level
Found: 3 Days 21 Hours 3 Minutes ago
Hometown Life - Although he's a Democrat, Congressman-elect Gary Peters built his political career in a predominantly Republican landscape.He grew up in Rochester Hills where his parents, Herb and Madeleine, still live, and he will represent the 9th U.S. House District, which encompasses the Birmingham-Bloomfield area, and which until recently was a stronghold of Republican voters.Peters graduated from Rochester High School in 1976 and began his political career on the Rochester Hills City Council, where he was appointed to fill a vacancy created by the resignation of Betty Adamo in 1991. He served until 1993, when he chose not to run for a full term.Darlene Janulis, a supporter back then, was at Peters'headquarters election night to celebrate the victory."He did a wonderful job for us"on city council, she said. However, Janulis had no inkling then that he would run for higher office."I had hoped that he would. He really had a lot of talent,"she said."Gary reached across the aisle to a lot of people, he really did. ... I think he appealed to a lot of people."Barnett Jones, who served on the Rochester Hills council alongside Peters, remembers thinking that his colleague was destined for bigger things."You could tell right then that Gary used common sense,"Jones said. "We both kind of worked the same. We would ... go out and talk to the people. ... And I believe he'll do the same thing when he goes to Washington."Jones, a Republican who is now Ann Arbor's police chief, said Peters put listening ahead of ideology."He was there to represent the will of the people. ... His father was very, very much the same,"he said. "Gary Peters, the man I worked with and discussed issues with, ... he represented the city of Rochester Hills and the constituency there. And he'll do the same thing in Washington."FAMILY FOCUSAfter leaving city council, Peters, 49, moved to Bloomfield Township and went on to serve two terms in the Michigan Senate, from 1995-2002. After an unsuccessful bid for attorney general in 2002, he was appointed state lottery commissioner in 2003.
