“President Biden is draining our country’s strategic reserve of oil, which we need for real emergencies, and using it for his own personal emergency. Biden is desperate to cover up the high costs of his failed energy policies and he is putting national security at risk to do it,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. “This administration’s energy policies have caused pain for Michigan residents, and it must do more to allow American energy development and pipeline construction.”

"The Biden Administration refuses to act on common sense and remove the transit mask mandate. This legislation already passed the Senate with bipartisan support from eight Democrats and it should be immediately considered in the House so the American people know where their representatives stand," said Moolenaar.

"President Biden's reckless budget raises taxes, increases spending, and expands the federal government even further into the lives of Americans. His spending proposal risks sparking even higher inflation, at a time when Michigan families continue to struggle with the record-high inflation that really took off after he signed a $2 trillion spending bill last year. I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure the 2023 federal budget works for families and not just Biden’s favorite far-left special interests."

“Don Young was a sportsman who loved the outdoors and conservation, and he fiercely championed the Second Amendment and the people of Alaska.

"Russia's invasion is unacceptable and it continues to escalate the violence, bombing hospitals and other buildings filled with innocent people, including children. Ending normal trade relations with Putin and his corrupt regime must be done as quickly as possible and that is why I voted for this legislation today,” said Moolenaar.

"President Zelenskyy has shown incredible courage and bravery during Russia’s invasion and his remarks today were inspiring. His heroic leadership and patriotism have led the Ukrainian people through weeks of war, and they have fared far better than anyone ever expected. The Biden Administration must work quickly with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military aid it needs to fight for its survival and defeat the invasion,” said Congressman John Moolenaar following the address.

"President Biden and his administration are requiring toddlers to mask even though there is little risk of them spreading COVID. Forcing them to wear masks will have negative effects on their development and President Biden should end this rule immediately,” said Moolenaar.

“The cost of oil will be a concern for decades to come, and even with electric vehicles, the United States will still need oil, because it is used to make vehicle parts and millions of other products Americans use every day,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. “Instead of begging other countries to produce more oil, President Biden should expedite approval for oil and gas projects here at home. This will create jobs and help the country meet its current and future energy needs as part of a comprehensive strategy that involves oil, gas, and other sources of energy.”
