"President Zelenskyy has shown incredible courage and bravery during Russia’s invasion and his remarks today were inspiring. His heroic leadership and patriotism have led the Ukrainian people through weeks of war, and they have fared far better than anyone ever expected. The Biden Administration must work quickly with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military aid it needs to fight for its survival and defeat the invasion,” said Congressman John Moolenaar following the address.

"President Biden and his administration are requiring toddlers to mask even though there is little risk of them spreading COVID. Forcing them to wear masks will have negative effects on their development and President Biden should end this rule immediately,” said Moolenaar.

“The cost of oil will be a concern for decades to come, and even with electric vehicles, the United States will still need oil, because it is used to make vehicle parts and millions of other products Americans use every day,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. “Instead of begging other countries to produce more oil, President Biden should expedite approval for oil and gas projects here at home. This will create jobs and help the country meet its current and future energy needs as part of a comprehensive strategy that involves oil, gas, and other sources of energy.”

"It is long past time for President Biden to do away with COVID restrictions and mandates on the American people,” said Congressman Moolenaar. “President Biden is out of touch and I trust Michigan families to make decisions that are best for themselves and their families.”

"Michigan families and seniors just endured another month of record inflation under President Biden. Today, they are paying an average price of $4.26 for a gallon of gas and that cost will ripple through the economy, raising the cost of food and other products they need. Before the pandemic, our country enjoyed record low unemployment and low inflation, and we can get there again by reversing Biden’s failed policies. Biden wants to blame Russia for inflation, but prices have been rising for months now, especially after Biden canceled energy projects and signed a $2 trillion bill last March that paid people extra money not to work,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“The situation in Ukraine remains dire with the latest reports indicating Russia has bombed a maternity hospital and other civilian areas. I hope that additional support for Ukraine and penalties for Russia will help Ukraine to victory over Vladimir Putin and his corrupt regime,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“I am heartbroken today by this tragic news. It is devastating for all of us who had the opportunity to work and be friends with Diane and Don. They will always be remembered for their strong faith, generous giving, and making a positive difference in the lives of so many people in our community. I join their family and friends in mourning this tragic loss.”

“President Biden says he wants to make things in America, but his actions tell another story when it comes to American energy,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. “I support banning Russian oil sales, but Biden must also end the federal freeze on new American oil and gas projects, and expedite all the approvals needed for pipeline and energy development here in the United States. Taking those steps will increase the supply of American oil, create jobs and support our national security.”

“Line 5 is crucial for providing Michigan residents with reliable and affordable energy. Federal and state authorities should end any efforts to close the line and they should expedite all reviews and permitting for the tunnel, so it can be built as soon as possible. Building the Line 5 tunnel will improve safety and create good-paying jobs. I am proud to stand with Michigan families, workers, and businesses to support the Line 5 tunnel,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“The bottom line is President Biden’s first year in office has been one disaster after another. The southern border was overrun, inflation soared, gas prices hurt Michigan families, Afghanistan ended in tragedy, Russia invaded Ukraine, supply shortages stalled manufacturing, crime rose, schools left children behind, businesses could not find workers, COVID tests were mailed after the winter surge ended, and Biden recklessly tried to force unconstitutional mandates on millions of Americans. To this day, he continues to impose his own mandates on hardworking truckers and nurses while the rest of the country rejects his unpopular policies and moves forward. I have led the fight against Biden’s workplace vaccine mandate and am fighting every day to stop him and the Democrats from doing more that would make all of these problems worse. America had low unemployment and low inflation before the pandemic, and it can do so again if President Biden reverses course and stops pursuing far-left policies.”
