Today, Congressman John Moolenaar signed a discharge petition on the House floor that would bring H.R. 962, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act sponsored by Congresswoman Ann Wagner of Missouri, to the floor for a vote.

"I enjoyed meeting with President Trump today. I spoke with him about the Great Lakes and their importance to our state. As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I will do everything I can to make sure the committee follows through on this new commitment from President Trump to fully fund the GLRI and help protect the Great Lakes for future generations."

"After a fair and thorough two-year investigation of the 2016 presidential campaign, Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller has found no collusion. In Congress, I am working on the issues most important to Michigan residents including jobs and the economy, protecting the Great Lakes, funding the Soo Locks, and fighting the opioid crisis. I hope Democrats will end their partisan attacks and work across the aisle so we can have bipartisan results for the American people."

“This investment will keep Michigan at the forefront of auto manufacturing for years to come. It is a long-term decision that will benefit the hardworking residents of our state and drive our economy into the future.”

“This is incredible news for Michigan. The Soo Locks are vital to shipping on the Great Lakes and the American economy. Since Congressman Bergman, Congressman Mitchell and myself talked to President Trump about the Soo Locks last April, there has been more progress on building a new Lock than there has been in decades. This new funding will create jobs and benefit our entire state.”

“Last year, we made incredible progress in funding the Army Corps, and having it include Soo Locks construction in its work plan. I successfully worked across the aisle on the Appropriations Committee to fund vital priorities including fighting the opioid crisis, expanding rural broadband access, and fully-funding the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. I look forward to continuing this important work for Michigan in the months ahead as Congress debates federal funding for 2020.”

“Michigan residents work hard to provide for their families and they want their tax dollars to be used for protecting the Great Lakes, funding infrastructure, and keeping our country safe. They want their hard-earned money to be used for important priorities and not for political campaigns.”

The entry deadline for this year’s contest is April 12. Entries should be mailed or delivered to Congressman Moolenaar’s Midland office at 200 East Main Street, Suite 230, Midland, MI 48640.
