“President Biden failed our nation at nearly every level. Here at home, he crushed Michigan families with the highest inflation in decades, raised the cost of living and made them pay more for everything they buy. Internationally, the world is more dangerous because of Biden’s failures. Russia invaded Ukraine again, the Taliban took over Afghanistan, and he allowed a terrorist group in the Middle East to control the shipping lanes of the world economy. I look forward to working with President Trump and his administration to get our nation back on track.”

“Governor Whitmer has given hundreds of millions of dollars to Chinese auto suppliers in Michigan. If she is ready to show she is serious about stopping the Chinese Communist Party from taking over our auto industry she will end the state subsidies she approved for Chinese auto suppliers and stop their projects from moving forward. She has subsidized the CCP’s efforts to make our automakers more dependent on China. Her concerns about Chinese auto suppliers hurting our economy are empty until she ends her subsidies for them,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“The University of Michigan is making the right decision in ending its joint institute with a Chinese university, and more of our nation’s universities should follow U-M’s action. My committee has put a spotlight on the fact that too many American universities are collaborating with CCP researchers on critical technologies including weapons, artificial intelligence, and nuclear physics. The results of these collaborations could one day be turned against our country, and we cannot allow that to happen. In U-M’s case, its Chinese joint institute partner was helping the CCP modernize its military, and then five students who came to Michigan from China through the joint institute ended up spying on Camp Grayling. American universities should end these types of joint institutes and protect the security of our nation’s research,” said Moolenaar.

"Duane Dewey courageously served our nation in the Korean War and his heroism saved lives. After returning home and receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor, he spent his life encouraging his fellow veterans with his story. Renaming the VA Clinic in Cadillac in his honor is fitting so Michigan residents will remember his bravery. I am grateful my legislation to keep his legacy alive was signed into law,” said Moolenaar.

“It is an honor for me to represent the people of Michigan’s Second Congressional District. I look forward to working on solutions that will make their lives better and strengthen our country,” said Moolenaar.

"The Mecosta County Commissioners’ decision to end support for Gotion is yet another sign that the people of Mecosta County do not want Gotion. The company has troubling ties to the CCP and relies on forced labor in China in its supply chains. The Department of Defense even refuses to do business with Gotion because it poses a threat to our national security. The people of Mecosta County have made it clear multiple times they do not want Gotion in our community and they do not want their tax dollars going to a CCP-affiliated company. The state of Michigan, the MEDC, and Gotion should listen to the people and end this project once and for all,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

"Jimmy Carter sought to humbly serve others each day. After serving in the Navy, he returned home, and like many Americans, he became involved in his local community. After his presidency, he and his wife, Rosalynn, helped build Habitat for Humanity into what it is today. Together, the Carters demonstrated 77 years of enduring love and steadfast marriage to one another. The entire Carter family is in my prayers today."

"Duane Dewey was a selfless patriot who courageously served our nation and defended our freedoms. His acts of heroism, life of service, and dedication to veterans are an inspiration," said Moolenaar. "Renaming the VA clinic in Cadillac in Dewey’s honor is a tribute to all he accomplished. I am thankful to my Senate colleagues for unanimously supporting my legislation honoring this American hero, and I hope President Biden will sign it into law in the days ahead."
