"Today's inflation numbers confirm what we are seeing in Michigan - rising prices are hurting Michigan’s seniors and families as their money does not go as far as it used to,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. "Before the pandemic we had record levels of employment, rising wages, and low inflation. Now, in his first year in office, President Biden has discouraged energy development, driven up gas prices, paid more money for people not to work, and allowed the backlog at our nation’s ports to hit record highs. Biden’s policies are not working.”

"Americans should have the right to decide if they want to take the COVID-19 vaccine and I believe President Biden implementing his mandate through executive rule is unconstitutional. If the mandate is upheld, Michigan businesses will face higher costs for employees and hard-to-find tests, and those costs will be passed on to Michigan families and seniors. I have introduced a bill to block this mandate and I will continue to fight for that legislation in Congress until the mandate is ended," said Congressman John Moolenaar.

I have worked with Michigan FFA for many years and I know they will do an excellent job of developing the next generation of talented young leaders who will help feed our nation for years to come. I look forward to working with them to promote Michigan agriculture and help our farming communities succeed,” said Congressman Moolenaar.

"Congratulations to Allison, Elliana, and Lauren on creating their new app and utilizing their skills to make a positive difference in the community. Learning a coding language and putting those skills to use can help open the door to good-paying jobs not only now, but also in the future," said Congressman Moolenaar. "I want to thank everyone who participated in this year's Congressional App Challenge and encourage the incredibly talented students of mid and northern Michigan to participate again next year."

"The judges who approved of the Biden Administration's vaccine mandate have blown open a massive loophole for President Biden and future presidents to prescribe their preferred medicines through 'emergency' executive rule on millions of Americans," said Congressman John Moolenaar. "I believe Americans should have the right to decide if they want the vaccine and that implementing this mandate on employers is unconstitutional. If this mandate goes forward employers will be forced to find new workers and pay for millions of tests, and those costs will be passed on to Michigan families who are already facing rising prices for everything they buy. I will continue to fight this executive overreach in Congress and push for my legislation, the No Vaccine Mandate Act."

"Inflation is hurting Michigan families and seniors, who are paying more everyday for what they need, including gas and groceries. Under President Biden, they have been forced to take a pay cut because their money simply does not go as far as used it to," said Congressman John Moolenaar. "I will continue to oppose Biden's partisan "Build Back Better" plan because we know the trillions he has already spent this year has contributed to the higher prices everyone is paying right now."

"I am proud to help support our brave servicemembers with increased pay and more resources for them and their families," said Congressman John Moolenaar. "This legislation will also give them the tools they need to keep the American people safe and meet the rising challenges from Russia, China, and terrorist organizations. Finally, this year's NDAA increases accountability and forces the Biden Administration to outline a plan for bringing home Americans who are still stranded in Afghanistan."

“Senator Bob Dole dedicated his life to serving our country. As a member of the Greatest Generation, he was a hero for his service in World War II and as a senator, he made America a better place,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. “Senator Dole will be long-remembered for his selfless patriotism, decency, and humor. I send my deepest condolences to his family and friends as they mourn his passing.”

“In July, President Biden declared America free from COVID. Now, instead of letting Americans make their own choices, Biden continues to pursue mandates and impose restrictions on Americans. It has been nearly two years since the pandemic began in America and it is long past time for the Biden Administration to let families decide what is best for them," said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“Telehealth services have been vital to veterans as they have received care over the past couple of years and the VA Telehealth Strategy Act will require the VA to improve care and convenience for our veterans," said Congressman Moolenaar. "The POW Priority Care Act is also essential because it will help ensure that courageous veterans who endured enemy captivity will receive the care they need most. I hope the House will quickly pass both bills to help veterans receive the benefits they earned serving our nation."
