"Our veterans sacrificed to protect our freedoms and keep our nation safe. As they finish serving and enter the workforce, they often face new challenges. The fellowship program created by my legislation can help veterans gain the skills they need for full-time employment and make an easier transition to a new career,” said Moolenaar.

"Biden’s proclamations about the State of the Union are out of touch with Michigan families who are struggling to get by. In Biden’s second year, inflation hit a four-decade high, gas cost $5.00 a gallon, China encroached on our airspace, students were left behind, and the border fell further into crisis," said Congressman John Moolenaar. "It is time to change course and get America back on track. I am fighting for American energy independence, responsible spending, lower inflation, and to ensure the government keeps the promises made to our seniors."

"Sheriff Cole is a well-respected leader in law enforcement in our state. He has spent his life serving Mason County and it is an honor to recognize his contributions to our community," said Moolenaar. "Sheriff Cole has also seen firsthand the damage the fentanyl crisis has done to communities across Michigan and he understands how President Biden's policies at the southern border have allowed more fentanyl to enter the country and make its way to Michigan. It is an important issue facing our nation and Biden needs to address it."

"The Biden administration knew about the Chinese Community Party's spy balloon a week ago. It then allowed the balloon to travel across the U.S., collecting information, before finally taking it down. Those seven days of weakness and inaction jeopardized our national security. The balloon could have been stopped after it was first spotted and posed minimal threat to the public," said Congressman John Moolenaar.

"Our veterans put their lives on the line in service to our country and deserve the best service from the VA. I have heard from many veterans that there are simply not enough patient advocates at the VA," said Congressman Moolenaar. "The legislation will increase the number of patient advocates and improve accountability, so our veterans will receive better care and attention from VA staff."

"Parents know what is best for their children and this legislation will empower states and communities to provide parents with the best opportunities for students. Programs created by Washington bureaucrats are not able to serve every community across this country. The needs of students are different, whether they are in Michigan, Texas, California, or New York. The A Plus Act will eliminate burdensome regulations and help states address the biggest needs of parents and students at the state and local level,” said Congressman Moolenaar.

"I am grateful for the privilege to advocate for Michigan’s most important priorities including rural development, protecting the Great Lakes, and supporting seniors. I will be questioning federal officials and holding them accountable for their spending proposals. Michigan residents work hard and their tax dollars should never be wasted,” said Moolenaar.

"The pandemic is over – President Biden said so himself – and yet there are still unspent funds sitting at federal departments that he said were needed for the pandemic response. It is time to direct those funds back to the Treasury and pay down the debt. The trillions Biden has already spent in just two years has helped drive inflation to 40-year highs. My legislation will help rein in inflation that is hurting Michigan families and stop Biden from spending even more,” said Moolenaar.

"I am grateful for the opportunity to serve on this committee as the work we do will affect Michiganders and all Americans for years to come. China has been actively working to weaken America. It is buying U.S. farmland, stealing inventions, jeopardizing the health of every person in the world, and building up its military while threatening its neighbors. I look forward to working with my colleagues to address all of these issues, as well as our nation’s supply chain concerns, in order to better prepare America for the challenges from the Chinese Communist Party,” said Moolenaar.
