"Director Evanina's expertise in counterintelligence and counterespionage give him a clear understanding of how the CCP operates in the U.S. His testimony was very concerning, and provided a warning to state and local leaders in Michigan on how the CCP could use the Gotion project to spy on the United States. Once CCP nationals receive a work visa to enter the country, they might have the opportunity to travel freely and do other activities in Michigan, like surveilling airports or military installations. Michigan leaders should heed the warning of Director Evanina and stop the Gotion deal," said Moolenaar, after the hearing.

“I am proud to support the people of the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe with funding for these critical infrastructure projects. These projects are vital to improve the fresh water and wastewater facilities the Tribe relies on every day. I will continue to advocate for funding projects across the Second District, and I encourage leaders interested in projects for their communities to reach out to my office,” said Moolenaar.

“President Herzog’s address was a powerful reminder of the strong bonds between the United States and Israel. Our two countries have faced many challenges but we are always united as allies for freedom and democracy. I congratulate the Israeli people this year as they celebrate the 75th anniversary of Israel’s independence,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“As Michigan’s only member of the House Appropriations Committee, I am proud to support communities in the Second District with crucial funding. The project in Kent County will provide a space for education and activities for the Kent County Youth Agriculture Association. The funding for Cadillac will be used to develop a vacant site to address the need for affordable housing and development downtown. The Shelby Community Park project will be a welcomed addition to the area and be a place for residents to enjoy. I encourage local leaders to reach out to my office for more information if they are interested in funding projects for their community,” said Congressman Moolenaar.

“For decades, Israel has been one of America’s closest allies in the world. Today’s legislation reaffirms the strong alliance between our two nations and that America will always support Israel and its right to exist,” said Moolenaar.

“I am proud to support the brave members of our military with higher pay and more resources for their families. This legislation will ensure our men and women in uniform have the support they need to carry out their missions. It will also save taxpayer dollars by insisting our military leadership focuses on protecting the country, and not on promoting woke diversity programs. The border crisis demands attention as well. That is why this legislation directs the Department of Defense to work with Congress to finish the wall on the southern border, and it fully funds a border deployment for the National Guard,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“The CCP and its affiliates stop at nothing to surveil, intimidate, and threaten people they do not like. This year alone, the CCP has sent the spy balloon to spy on our military, operated secret police stations inside the United States, and now this major cyberattack on the U.S. government has been revealed. All this evidence shows why it would be a bad idea to allow the subsidiary of a company that pledges allegiance to the CCP to build and operate a factory in Mecosta County,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

Line 5 is a vital source of energy for Michigan families who rely on propane for home energy. On his first day in office, President Biden shut down construction of an international pipeline and ended new drilling leases on federal land. The provision I included in today’s legislation will ensure the Biden Administration cannot shutdown an international pipeline that Michigan families depend on for home energy” said Congressman John Moolenaar.
