"The Farm Bill is crucial for the 17,000 farmers in my district and producers across the nation.

Affordability starts on our farms, and this legislation ensures family farms are able to thrive; keeping grocery shelves stocked and prices down," said Moolenaar. "The Farm Bill will also help residents in our rural communities by providing federal funding and grants for vital infrastructure projects and expanding broadband access."

"Selfridge is a critical asset to our national security and a major contributor to Michigan's economy. President Trump rightly recognizes its role in our keeping our country safe and committed a new fighter mission to the base last year. However, there is work to be done to update the base to fit the needs of the new F-15EX fighters. As the only House appropriator from our state, I will always work with my Michigan colleagues to bring critical funding like this to the state to improve our economy and keep our country safe," 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.”
