National Security

“America’s rail system plays a vital role in our economy and our national defense,” said Moolenaar. “We cannot allow the companies with ties to the Chinese Communist Party access to information that could track sensitive shipments and undermine our national security. Our bipartisan legislation addresses dangerous oversights in existing law and ensures this critical infrastructure is protected.”

"For far too long, our health industry supply chain, specifically for pharmaceuticals, have been reliant on our adversaries. I appreciate the Trump administration and Secretary Kennedy’s efforts to improve the domestic supply chain for medicine to reduce our dependence on the CCP, and protect American health centers from cyber threats. I remain committed to working with the administration on strengthening health outcomes and ensuring federal health programs are delivering results for patients and families,” said Moolenaar.

"DHS agents with TSA, FEMA, Border Patrol, and Coast Guard are vital to keeping our nation safe and have worked now for over a month without pay as this shutdown continues. In the House, I supported three bills to prevent or end the shutdown and fully fund DHS. Meanwhile, my Democrat colleagues have voted against each of these commonsense measures to ensure those who keep us safe get paid. It's long past due for Democrats to compromise on their demands, and fund DHS," said Moolenaar.

“For nearly five decades, the Iranian regime targeted Americans and our allies, oppressed its people, funded terrorist activity around the world, and sought to develop a nuclear weapon. After Operation Midnight Hammer, those ambitions were destroyed, but the regime attempted to rebuild its capabilities. President Trump gave the Ayatollah a clear warning: dismantle your missile program or face further destruction. The regime ignored those warnings with plans to develop an ICBM that could reach the United States. God bless the brave members of the United States Armed Forces and I pray for their safety.”

"President Trump delivered a powerful message in recognition of our nation's 250th birthday and our renewed commitment to preserving the American dream for future generations. After struggling for years to make ends meet under the previous administration, the American people are finally starting to see relief with inflation cooling from record highs, and historic tax cuts for working families in Michigan," said Moolenaar. "The President spoke clearly about our work to secure investment into our nation and workers, reinvigorate American industry, bring in good jobs, and allow us to innovate. His address also emphasized the important work of our law enforcement agencies to secure our border and remove criminal illegal immigrants from our communities. Thanks to President Trump's leadership abroad, the United States is stronger today than it was before he retook office, and our military is more capable than ever to deter our adversaries."

“Michigan is ready to lead the nation in drone innovation, testing, and manufacturing,” said Moolenaar. “Today’s announcement is an important step forward as we reenergize Michigan’s defense manufacturing industry. It will harness Michigan’s private sector innovators, manufacturing expertise, and advanced training facilities to help strengthen our national security.”
