“I am proud to have the support of more Michigan agriculture groups for my legislation to help farmers. The Department of Labor has been raising costs on farmers for years and these unprecedented increases are making it difficult for them to keep working. Farmers and ag groups support my bill because it will help ensure they can pay a reliable work force and still afford to make ends meet,” said Moolenaar.

“I am honored to receive this award from our community health centers, who are an essential resource for Michigan families, especially in rural communities. I will continue my advocacy for them on the House Appropriations Committee so they can continue to provide vital health care services to residents for years to come,” Moolenaar said after receiving the award.

“I have reviewed the classified information and while it is concerning for our national security, there is no imminent danger to the American people and there is no need for panic. I hope the information will be declassified when it is safe to do so, and then Congress can publicly debate how to respond. In the weeks and months ahead, I will continue my work in Congress to keep America safe and make sure our military has the resources it needs to defeat our enemies,” said Moolenaar.

"Ever since Secretary Yellen and President Biden took office, their policies have hurt Michigan seniors, families, and small businesses with higher prices, record inflation, and burdensome regulations. Unfortunately, nothing Secretary Yellen says today in Michigan will make life easier for Michigan residents who are paying more for everything they buy,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. “Secretary Yellen misled Americans when she said inflation would be transitory and disappear quickly. She has no credibility on the economy now.”

“Secretary Mayorkas has willfully refused to comply with the law, repeatedly lied to Congress by claiming the border is secure, and made it harder for Border Patrol agents to enforce the law. The policies he has implemented through executive action have helped drug cartels pour fentanyl into our communities and kill our loved ones, while also making it easier for the cartels to get away with human trafficking and the sexual assault of women and girls,” said Moolenaar. “On his first day in office, President Biden reversed border policies that were working and now he is leaving Secretary Mayorkas holding the bag when he knows he is truly the one who has made our country a more dangerous place for all Americans.”

“The passing of Shandra Eisenga was a preventable tragedy caused by a lack of oversight and accountability for tissue donation services. Nobody should have to go through what Shandra and her family experienced. The Shandra Eisenga Human Cell and Tissue Product Safety Act will stop future TB outbreaks and honor Shandra’s legacy. Thank you to Senator Peters and my colleagues for their support of this legislation,” said Congressman Moolenaar.

“Director Wray provided testimony today that outlined how the CCP uses its assets in America to advance its agenda and harm our country. Anyone who is serious about protecting America’s economy and national security should listen to Director Wray about the threats we face from the CCP. The MEDC and local officials in Michigan need to realize the serious risks of allowing CCP companies to build facilities in the U.S. and stop the Gotion project,” said Moolenaar after the hearing.

“President Obama’s Defense Secretary and President Trump’s Secretary of State just testified under oath that Gotion and its plans in Michigan are a national security risk. They know how the Chinese Communist Party operates and how it uses resources in America to hurt our country. They also said that it undermines our national security for states and communities to give tax subsidies to those companies. State and local economic development officials in Michigan need to listen to these experts and end the Gotion project,” said Moolenaar after the hearing.
