“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."

"Line 5 is one of the most important energy sources for Michigan families, many of whom rely on propane to heat their homes each winter. With President Biden blocking a pipeline on his first day in office, my amendment would help ensure Line 5 remains open, by prohibiting Biden from using taxpayer dollars to shut it down. Pipelines are the safest way to transport the energy, and I will continue to fight for affordable and reliable energy for Michigan families,” said Moolenaar.

"Parents across America are demanding better educational opportunities for their children and it is outrageous for the Attorney General to target them for using their First Amendment right to freedom of speech," said Moolenaar. "My amendment would prohibit him from using taxpayer funding to intimidate and profile parents who attend school board meetings to speak up for their children. I am disappointed my Democratic colleagues sided against parents in voting against my amendment today.”

"Michigan families feel the increased costs of food and gas every day. Inflation is at record levels and President Biden's reckless spending has made the problem worse. Sadly, Michigan residents will have to pay nearly 20 percent more than last year to celebrate the Fourth of July with their friends and family. I will continue to fight for American energy independence, and do everything I can to stop Biden’s spending proposals. When Republicans were in charge, Americans had affordable energy, low inflation, and record low unemployment. We can do it again if President Biden reverses his failed policies,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

"Freedom of speech and freedom of religion are guaranteed to all Americans in the First Amendment, and this ruling is a victory for all who value those rights. No one should have to fear losing their job because of their faith,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“Due-process is a right guaranteed to every American, and no citizen should have that right taken away. I voted against this bill because it would take the hard-earned money of Michigan taxpayers and give it to states so they can enforce unconstitutional laws that deny Americans their due process and Second Amendment rights,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“This is one of the most wonderful days in the history of our country and today’s ruling will save millions of lives,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. “The Supreme Court’s decision upholds the right to life for the most vulnerable people in our society, and each of their lives is a special gift. I have always believed that future generations will look back on permissive abortion as a moral stain on our country’s history and today’s decision will begin healing the errors of the past. Now, the American people and their elected representatives at all levels of government will have the opportunity to make new laws on this critical issue with the benefit of scientific research that has shown us that precious unborn children have a heartbeat at six weeks and major organs after 15 weeks. I have a 100 percent pro-life voting record and I will continue to fight for the right to life as debates on this issue continue in Congress. There is still important work ahead including increasing support for adoption and pregnancy resource centers that help parents in need. These outstanding organizations across Michigan do important work and I know families are thankful for all they do.”
