115th Congress

And, we have our former state senator, John Moolenaar (now a U.S. congressman), and current Congressman Jack Bergman — both Republicans –to thank for that. The two accompanied Trump to a political rally at Selfridge Air Force Base in April, where the President, after being lobbied by the two, addressed his support for building a new lock in Sault Ste. Marie.

"Hardly a family that you talk to hasn't had a loved one or someone they know of been affected by this," says Congressman John Moolenaar, who was at the drug take back in Freeland.

"I'm very optimistic because the president fully embraced it, the Army Corps of Engineers has demonstrated it for security and economics. Things are aligned in such a way that we will move forward on it. But in Washington you're never done until you're done," Moolenaar, said.
