"Today's announcement that America is now in a recession under President Biden and the Democrats is no surprise to the Michigan families and seniors who have been hurting for months. Democrats’ disastrous economic policies have caused the price of gas and groceries to soar, costing families hundreds of dollars a month," said Congressman John Moolenaar. "It does not have to be this way. When Republicans held the White House and Congress, we had a strong economy with affordable energy and low inflation. Democrats should give up their plans for another partisan spending bill and start working with Republicans. We have been standing with families for over a year and warning Democrats about the high costs of inflation across the country.”

"Every child is a precious gift and has the right to life. We must protect these innocent children who are unable to protect themselves, and this extreme legislation would allow for abortion up until birth," said Moolenaar. "I will always defend the right to life and fight against Democrats' efforts to provide unlimited abortion. Earlier this week, I cosponsored legislation to help expecting mothers, and I will continue to support pregnancy resource centers that provide mothers and children with vital assistance."

"Now that the Supreme Court has ruled for life, we must help mothers and their young children.

"Under President Biden, Michigan families have been forced to take a pay cut because their money does not go as far as it used to. President Biden and the Democrats need to abandon their plans for another partisan spending bill, which they are pursuing right now. Michigan families cannot afford for them to double down on the inflation they have caused with their policies in the past year and a half,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. “When Republicans last held the House, Senate, and White House, we had low inflation, affordable energy, and a strong economy. We can have those again if Democrats stop pursuing their failed policies.”

“The Biden Administration’s new charter school rules are an underhanded attack on parents, students, and the teachers who work at charters,” said Moolenaar, who is the co-chair of the Congressional School Choice Caucus. “By making it harder for these schools to receive grant funding, the Biden Administration is attempting to limit the opportunities parents can choose for their children. It’s wrong, and I am fighting for education freedom so parents and students will have more charter school choices available to them.”

"I have been leading the opposition against President Biden's vaccine mandate since it was announced. As he continues to push for pandemic mandates, I will do everything I can to make sure Americans across the country have the right to decide whether they get a COVID vaccine," said Moolenaar.

“For far too long Michigan farmers and businesses have been overregulated by unelected EPA bureaucrats who are out of touch with the realities on the ground. Today’s Court ruling gives Congress more power to pass policies the American people want, and I will fight for common-sense ideas that strengthen the economy, protect our outdoor heritage, and help Michigan families," said Congressman John Moolenaar.

"This is a common-sense amendment because taxpayers simply do not want their hard-earned money being used to pay for crack pipes. That is why I worked hard to introduce this amendment and make sure tax dollars are never used for that," said Moolenaar. "HHS must be a responsible steward of taxpayer funding and ensure that the programs it funds are helping those who are in need without prolonging their addiction."
