“It is common sense that we should count and know how many citizens there are in Michigan and across the country. Michigan has lost representation in Congress because of failed Democratic policies in Lansing that have driven people out of the state, and because other states are allowed to count large populations of people who are living illegally in their states. I am proud to support this legislation to ensure the citizens of Michigan are fairly represented,” said Moolenaar.

“President Biden and Vice President Harris claim to be looking out for American workers, but just three days ago they signed off on new rules that will let Chinese automakers qualify for tax incentives paid for by the very same American workers. It is hypocritical and the Biden administration should ban Chinese companies from qualifying for tax credits,” said Congressman John Moolenaar, the Chairman of the House Select Committee on the CCP.

“Iran is the largest sponsor of terrorism in the world, an avowed enemy of the United States, and on April 13 it launched an unprecedented attack on Israel. For state and local officials to give Gotion millions of dollars, knowing Gotion will send its profits back to China, and possibly use the money for business deals with Iran is simply wrong. This is yet another reason Gotion’s plans in Mecosta County should be ended for good,” said Moolenaar.

“Acting Secretary Su’s indifference to rural America has harmed Michigan farmers and their hope for a prosperous future. I have heard fifth and sixth-generation farmers in my district say they will be the last in their family to farm unless something changes. Unfortunately, the Biden administration and Acting Secretary Su are not addressing this issue with the urgency that is needed. The House should pass my Supporting Farm Operations Act to stop Biden’s increases and provide relief for farmers,” said Moolenaar after the hearing.

"We are writing to call for you to investigate the recent rallies held across the US, where participants chanted “Death to America,” “Death to Israel,” and advocated for violence against the United States and its allies. These anti-American and anti-Semitic calls for inciting violence are not protected speech and pose a serious threat to public safety and the American values of freedom and democracy."

“Inflation in March was higher than the experts thought, but it was no surprise to the Michigan families who are paying more for everything they buy under President Biden. His policies have printed trillions of dollars, sparked inflation, burdened small businesses, and generally made life harder for Americans,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.
