"The Biden administration wants to increase the size of the IRS and increase audits of low-income and middle-class Michigan families who are already struggling. Every family and small business owner dreads the possibility of an audit. They are costly, and the IRS frequently targets hardworking Americans who cannot afford to hire lawyers to fight back when the IRS is wrong," said Moolenaar. "I voted to end Biden’s extra money for the IRS because Michiganders cannot afford to have the IRS harassing them."

“President Biden and the Democrats have passed four spending bills of more than a trillion dollars in less than two years. This reckless and obscene spending has saddled Michigan families with record inflation and left them poorer than they were two years ago while they struggle to afford necessities like food and energy. There is no reason to continue spending this amount of money in such a short period of time. The pandemic is over, inflation is soaring, and Michigan residents need Washington to stop wasting money,” said Moolenaar.

"Today’s vote is a disappointing result for parents and students who were counting on the U.S. Senate to reject President Biden’s attack on their charter schools. As co-chairs of the School Choice Caucus, Senator Scott and I will continue our work to fight for school choice and educational freedom for students and parents,” said Moolenaar.

"Christmas gifts and travel are costing Michigan families more this year as they face another month of rising prices across the board. Families have been squeezed by the trillions in partisan spending by President Biden and they have endured a difficult year of record-high gas costs, rising food prices, and higher home energy bills,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. “In the new year, I will continue the work I have been doing to fight Biden’s spending policies so we can rein in inflation, develop more American energy, and get the country back on track.”

"I am proud to support the courageous men and women of our military with increased pay and more resources for them and their families. This legislation also repeals the Biden administration's COVID vaccine mandate that drove many service members out of the military," said Moolenaar. "This legislation helps ensure the military has the tools it needs to keep the American people safe and meet the security challenges our country faces."

"President Biden has already failed Michigan families and his massive partisan spending bills have helped cause record-high inflation. In fact, Farm Bureau estimated this year’s Thanksgiving meal cost families 20 percent more than last year. Now, Biden is coming to Michigan to say he supports American manufacturing. The sad truth is he signed a $300 billion tax hike on American manufacturers last summer,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“I welcome the news that Speaker Pelosi is stepping down from leadership and I wish her and her family well. The American people overwhelmingly believe our country is on the wrong track and much of that has to do with the policies Speaker Pelosi pushed forward, including burdensome regulations on Michigan small businesses and trillions in new spending. With Speaker Pelosi stepping down in the new year, there is now an opportunity for Congress to go in a new direction. I will be working to curb inflation, support American energy independence, and put our country back on the right track.”

"President Biden's inflation crisis is forcing Michigan families and seniors to spend hundreds of dollars extra each month to fill up their gas tank, keep their fridge full of food, and to heat their home. The trillions in wasteful spending from this administration has sent the cost of living soaring and put the economy on the path to another recession," said Congressman John Moolenaar. "I am working to reverse the policies of this failed administration so the economy will work for Michiganders again."

"Michiganders are already facing higher energy prices because of President Biden's policies, and now he wants to raise taxes again on American energy. These higher costs will be passed on to Michigan families and hurt their pocketbooks,” said Moolenaar. "Instead of raising taxes on energy producers, we must encourage American energy development, including more oil and gas, that will create jobs and bolster our national security."
