“Michigan families and seniors are experiencing the highest price increases in four decades as inflation under President Biden is forcing them to take a pay cut. Their money does not go as far as it used to and they’re spending more on the essential items they need. They’re struggling with gas prices that cost more than $5 a gallon, while at the same time Biden and his team do little to expedite the approval of more American energy,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. "Biden should have listened to Republicans last year who warned his policies would cause these problems. Now, he should reverse course, end his misguided spending policies and unleash America's energy might.”

“Speaker Pelosi is leaving Supreme Court justices at risk and allowing far-left protesters to continue intimidating them and their families at their homes. It’s a disgraceful low in American politics. Every Democrat and Republican in the Senate already agreed to a bill to provide the justices with more security, but she continues to block it from a vote in the House. She should hold a vote on the Senate bill immediately,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

"Due-process is a vital right enjoyed by every American, and no citizen should have that taken away. I voted against this bill because it would allow a judge to take someone’s firearms from them for 14 days without an opportunity for the accused to legally defend themselves,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. “The Constitution is the cornerstone of our nation’s success and we must respect the rights it gives to individuals.”

“President Biden’s energy polices have hurt Michigan families and now they have broken the bank for local law enforcement," said Congressman John Moolenaar. "Unfortunately, no one will be surprised if more Michigan communities face the same problem as Isabella County. I am fighting for American energy independence including more oil and gas development, so Michigan families, and the law enforcement officials they rely on, have affordable and reliable energy.”

“This legislation restricts law-abiding Michigan residents who follow the rules and safely exercise their Second Amendment rights every day,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. “Unfortunately, crime is rising in many communities. Citizens have the right to defend themselves, and this legislation would infringe upon that right. A more constructive approach to preventing crime and other tragedies would use common-sense policies that improve security, protect vulnerable people, and enable better communication between law enforcement agencies.”

"I led the fight against Biden's unconstitutional workplace vaccine mandate and he should end this appeal before he wastes more taxpayer dollars on another losing lawsuit. Biden's policies are out-of-touch and while he wants to force everyone to mask, the truth is he is having the wool pulled over his eyes by unelected bureaucrats who want unlimited power over Americans’ lives."

“Bill Lucas was a man of integrity and humility who served the people with a gentle spirit and the courage of his convictions. He made history as sheriff and county executive, and he dedicated his life to public service. I admired him greatly and it was an honor to work with him on his campaign for governor. I join his family and friends in mourning his passing and celebrating his extraordinary life.”

"President Biden’s policies are shrinking the economy and leaving Michigan families behind. He came into office and canceled oil and gas projects, then he spent $2 trillion on an 'American Rescue Plan' that has hurt families more than it has helped. He paid people extra money not to work, forced mandates on truck drivers carrying essential goods, and was slow to respond as the supply chain problems piled up. President Biden threw away the recovery started by the Trump Administration and to this day there are still fewer jobs than there were in 2019. Biden needs to reverse course, expedite approval of American oil and gas development, and let the economy grow.”

"The inflation crisis under President Biden has driven up the cost of a new lock and created uncertainty for when it will be completed. I will be demanding answers from the Army Corps about its cost estimates and how it plans to be accountable to taxpayers for these overruns while completing this crucial project for our state and the nation. The Biden Administration should immediately reprioritize funding that has already been approved by Congress and direct it toward completing the new lock," said Congressman John Moolenaar, Michigan’s senior member of the House Appropriations Committee.
