118th Congress

“Acting Secretary Su’s indifference to rural America has harmed Michigan farmers and their hope for a prosperous future. I have heard fifth and sixth-generation farmers in my district say they will be the last in their family to farm unless something changes. Unfortunately, the Biden administration and Acting Secretary Su are not addressing this issue with the urgency that is needed. The House should pass my Supporting Farm Operations Act to stop Biden’s increases and provide relief for farmers,” said Moolenaar after the hearing.

"We are writing to call for you to investigate the recent rallies held across the US, where participants chanted “Death to America,” “Death to Israel,” and advocated for violence against the United States and its allies. These anti-American and anti-Semitic calls for inciting violence are not protected speech and pose a serious threat to public safety and the American values of freedom and democracy."

“The requirement for a warrant makes our country stronger by protecting the civil liberties all Americans cherish. I will always stand for the Constitutional rights of Americans so all citizens can live freely in a safe and secure America,” said Moolenaar.

“Inflation in March was higher than the experts thought, but it was no surprise to the Michigan families who are paying more for everything they buy under President Biden. His policies have printed trillions of dollars, sparked inflation, burdened small businesses, and generally made life harder for Americans,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“Gotion officials in Michigan continue to mislead residents about the company’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Gotion Inc. officials are actively involved in the CCP and its business partner was recently caught using slave labor in the CCP’s genocide of religious people. Gotion’s parent company has even worked with officials from Iran, an avowed enemy of the United States. Gotion is the wrong business partner for Michigan,” said Congressman John Moolenaar, the incoming chairman of the House Select Committee on China.

“I am thankful to the Speaker for this appointment, and I look forward to working with Ranking Member Krishnamoorthi, the members of the Select Committee, House leaders, and the standing committees in the weeks and months ahead. Together, we can help our country prepare for the challenges we face from the Chinese Communist Party and win the competition against the CCP,” said Moolenaar. “I am also grateful to Chairman Gallagher. He has been an incredible leader for our country as a member of the military, and as a member of Congress, where he was instrumental in creating the Select Committee. His selfless and faithful stewardship of the Select Committee has been a tremendous success and benefited the American people.”

“Chairman Mike Gallagher has done a tremendous job in highlighting the numerous threats our country faces from the rising aggression of the Chinese Communist Party. Under his leadership, the Select Committee on the CCP has been genuinely bipartisan and advanced serious policies that strengthen the United States and position our nation for victory in the competition against the CCP. I wish him all the best, except during NFL games. Go Lions!”

“Kay has been a strong leader for our country as the head of the Appropriations Committee, and she has been a steadfast advocate for national security and our military. She is a trailblazer, as the first woman to be elected mayor of Fort Worth, and the first female Republican to serve in the House of Representatives from Texas. Her leadership will be missed on the committee and I wish her all the best.”

“My amendment protects Michigan’s natural resources from being used by companies that are controlled by our nation’s foreign adversaries and it prohibits the EPA from issuing them any water permits. Under no circumstance should CCP-affiliated companies like Gotion be allowed to use Michigan’s water. This is commonsense legislation and I encourage the Senate to immediately pass this bill,” said Moolenaar.

“Secretary Vilsack had an opportunity to side with Michigan farmers today and commit to standing up for them within the Biden administration, especially with the Department of Labor. Unfortunately, Secretary Vilsack refused to do so. He should stand up for Michigan farmers and endorse my Supporting Farm Operations Act,” said Moolenaar.
