"Today, I mourn the loss of former Congressman Dale Kildee. He dedicated his life to public service and he worked hard for our state. He was respected by Republicans and Democrats alike, and he will be well-remembered by those who knew him. My prayers today are with my colleague Dan Kildee and the entire Kildee family as they mourn Dale's passing and celebrate his life," said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“It’s always an honor to participate in this game and help bring Republicans and Democrats together for an evening. Tonight, we’re going to raise a lot of money for charity and help those in need. I am hoping for a Republican victory on the field, and I look forward to having a few coneys courtesy of Congressman Kildee,” said Congressman Moolenaar.

“It is vital to protect unborn children – they are the most vulnerable people in our society and the right to life is a founding principle of our country. Each unborn child is precious and worthy of protection, but today's legislation would tragically make it easier for their lives to be cut short. Science shows us that babies in the womb have a heartbeat after six weeks, arms and legs after ten weeks, and all of their major organs after 15 weeks. We must protect these innocent lives and I will continue to support resources for mothers, children, and young families,” said Congressman John Moolenaar, who voted against the Democrats' abortion bill.

“The Iron Dome saved countless lives earlier this year when it intercepted terrorist rocket attacks aimed at the people of Israel. This vital technology is made possible by the strong partnership between the United States and Israel, and today’s legislation will help ensure Israel has the resources it needs to defend itself in the future,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. “The partnership between Israel and the United States helps keep Americans and Israelis safe at home and abroad, and we must always work together to protect our citizens against terrorists who wish to do us harm.”

“Over the last year and a half, telehealth became an indispensable part of our health care system, and Michigan seniors were able to use it to meet with their doctors and access critical resources while staying safe," said Congressman Moolenaar. “Telehealth is a useful tool in modern medicine that helps increase access to care for Michigan families, while saving time for doctors and patients."

"This is a special honor for the late Steve Andrews and his entire family. Steve was a patriot who served our country in the Navy and then gave back to northern Michigan as an elected official and community leader. This legislation honors his life and will help future generations learn about his legacy of service. I am thankful to my friend Jack Bergman for introducing this legislation and proud of our entire Michigan delegation for coming together to honor this special hero for our state," said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“I am proud to be a cosponsor of this legislation which recognizes the members of the Six Triple Eight for their service dedication. The Congressional Gold Medal is one of our nation's highest honors and the women of the Six Triple Eight deserve such an award,” said Congressman Moolenaar, a cosponsor of the legislation. “The work done by the Six Triple Eight to clear the backlog of mail in the European theater ensured troops stayed in touch with their loved ones and this morale boost was a significant contribution to the war effort.”

“Many constituents have reached out to me about this proposal, and I share their concerns. This would be a violation of privacy by the government upon millions of Americans and the proposal would do more harm than good by creating higher costs that would be passed on to customers,” said Congressman Moolenaar. “It would also require more electronic information to be collected about Americans, thus making their personal information more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Americans already report a large amount of data to the IRS, and there is no evidence the Democrats' new requirements would substantially help the IRS do more to stop wrongdoing."
