“I am thankful to the Speaker for this appointment, and I look forward to working with Ranking Member Krishnamoorthi, the members of the Select Committee, House leaders, and the standing committees in the weeks and months ahead. Together, we can help our country prepare for the challenges we face from the Chinese Communist Party and win the competition against the CCP,” said Moolenaar. “I am also grateful to Chairman Gallagher. He has been an incredible leader for our country as a member of the military, and as a member of Congress, where he was instrumental in creating the Select Committee. His selfless and faithful stewardship of the Select Committee has been a tremendous success and benefited the American people.”

“Chairman Mike Gallagher has done a tremendous job in highlighting the numerous threats our country faces from the rising aggression of the Chinese Communist Party. Under his leadership, the Select Committee on the CCP has been genuinely bipartisan and advanced serious policies that strengthen the United States and position our nation for victory in the competition against the CCP. I wish him all the best, except during NFL games. Go Lions!”

“Kay has been a strong leader for our country as the head of the Appropriations Committee, and she has been a steadfast advocate for national security and our military. She is a trailblazer, as the first woman to be elected mayor of Fort Worth, and the first female Republican to serve in the House of Representatives from Texas. Her leadership will be missed on the committee and I wish her all the best.”

“My amendment protects Michigan’s natural resources from being used by companies that are controlled by our nation’s foreign adversaries and it prohibits the EPA from issuing them any water permits. Under no circumstance should CCP-affiliated companies like Gotion be allowed to use Michigan’s water. This is commonsense legislation and I encourage the Senate to immediately pass this bill,” said Moolenaar.

“Secretary Vilsack had an opportunity to side with Michigan farmers today and commit to standing up for them within the Biden administration, especially with the Department of Labor. Unfortunately, Secretary Vilsack refused to do so. He should stand up for Michigan farmers and endorse my Supporting Farm Operations Act,” said Moolenaar.

“America’s veterans deserve to have the highest quality treatment available to them and requiring there to be an anesthesiologist caring for them before surgery will help ensure they receive the best care. Unfortunately, some proposals have sought to remove this requirement. I am opposed to these proposals and will continue to advocate for Michigan veterans in Congress,” said Moolenaar. “I want to thank the Michigan Society of Anesthesiologists for their support and for their advocacy on behalf of our nation’s veterans.”

“TikTok is owned by the Chinese Communist Party and we cannot allow the CCP to indoctrinate our children. This strong bipartisan legislation is an important step forward in making sure social media apps owned by foreign adversaries are prohibited from doing business in America. I am proud to support this bill to protect national security, and the Senate should pass it immediately," said Moolenaar. "I also encourage Americans using TikTok to strongly consider the personal risks of having their data owned by the Chinese Communist Party and hope they will stop using the app as this bipartisan legislation moves forward.”
