"Rural Michigan residents deserve to have access to the highest quality health care available. That is why we must modernize Medicare's regulations and allow rural hospitals to recruit and pay physician anesthesiologists. Our commonsense, bipartisan legislation makes a small change to existing law to let these hospitals effectively use the funds already available to them and ensure Americans in rural communities can receive the anesthesia services they need, when they need them," said Moolenaar.

"Michigan and its residents have played a crucial role in our nation's history, making significant contributions in manufacturing, medicine, government, and more. The 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence serves as an important opportunity for us to rededicate ourselves to the principles that make our nation the greatest country on earth and educate young people on the legacy of the Founders and these great Michiganders. As we prepare to celebrate the Fourth of July, I encourage all Michigan residents to reflect on the ideals set forth by our Founders in the Declaration of Independence," said Moolenaar. 

"If there was a standardized test for TB in tissue donations from human cadavers, Shandra may be alive today. HHS must conduct this crucial research and explore how this testing can be done," said Congressman Moolenaar. "This bipartisan bill will do just that and take a necessary first step towards preventing more families from experiencing the heartache Shandra's has been through."

"The Chinese Communist Party is working tirelessly to make the PLA the world's leading military force by 2050. Through its policy of civil-military fusion, it has enlisted dozens of companies, and their subsidiaries, to assist in that goal. Beyond that, the CCP expects any Chinese national abroad to support its cause if called upon. Our commonsense legislation ensures that those who have already worked to advance the CCP's mission are not permitted in the United States, while protecting Chinese immigrants who seek to flee the regime's persecution," said Moolenaar.

“The historic flooding and major storms this spring brought significant damages to communities across our state. Since April, local leaders and first responders throughout the Second District have worked tirelessly to recover from this crisis. Still, residents and the effected communities are facing substantial costs to rebuild. I support Governor Whitmer’s request of President Trump to declare a major disaster. Today, I joined my Michigan Congressional colleagues to urge FEMA to approve this request so Michigan communities can get access to the resources they need," said Moolenaar.

"The agriculture appropriations bill is a major win for Michigan farmers, investing in research and proven programs which ensure they can succeed. It also provides critical funding to rural communities throughout our district. As the only member of the House Appropriations Committee from our state, I am committed to working with local leaders to secure federal funding for projects to ensure rural communities in our district are not left behind. Funding like this will go to help serve the communities, improve quality of life for rural residents," said Moolenaar.

“Gotion spent years trying to force itself into Green Charter Township, despite patriotic residents of Mecosta County rejecting it time and time again. Now that the State of Michigan has rightly placed it in default of its obligations to receive state taxpayer support, it has sunk to a new low and is seeking to bankrupt the town. Gotion is no stranger to seeking retribution, in text messages revealed in court documents, a Gotion executive sought personal information about those who opposed the Chinese Communist Party coming to Mecosta County. Gotion’s recent filing is only further evidence the CCP and companies beholden to it will abuse our legal system to silence those who oppose their agenda.”
