118th Congress

"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."

“Duane Dewey courageously served our country and his selfless sacrifice in the Korean War saved the lives of his fellow Marines. He earned the Medal of Honor and spent his life supporting veterans, so it is fitting to rename the VA clinic in Cadillac in his honor. I am grateful my colleagues unanimously passed my legislation to give us a lasting reminder of Duane Dewey and his service for our nation,” said Congressman Moolenaar.

“I am grateful my legislation to honor Shandra’s legacy was passed by the House. This bill will help prevent TB infections from bone grafts and save families from experiencing the pain and sadness that Shandra’s family has tragically endured. My bipartisan bill accomplishes this by ensuring the FDA requires screening for TB and holds tissue suppliers responsible for infections they spread,” said Moolenaar.

“My legislation will protect American taxpayers and stop their tax dollars from going to the Chinese Communist Party. I welcome my Senate colleagues support for this commonsense legislation. It is unfortunate that the Biden Treasury Department would allow billions of taxpayer dollars to flow to CCP-affiliated companies. This legislation will stop the Treasury’s rule and protect the American people,” said Moolenaar.

“Gotion High-Tech is partnering with a university that helps China’s military. This is a dangerous partnership that will actively work against America and it is another example of how Gotion is a tool for the CCP to advance its own interests against the United States. This shows yet again that Gotion is a bad business partner for Michigan and it should not be allowed to build a factory in our state,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“While we are pleased with this initial step, we remain concerned that CATL and Gotion’s supply chains are deeply tied to the Xinjiang region. It is past time to stop spending taxpayer dollars partnering with Gotion and CATL. American companies should cut ties with these Chinese Communist Party-aligned battery companies and focus on developing a resilient supply chain free of forced labor. The Biden-Harris Administration rules that would allow American taxpayer dollars to subsidize Chinese batteries tainted by slave labor must also be reversed. Additionally, we must advance our bipartisan legislation, the Decoupling from Foreign Adversarial Battery Dependency Act, to not only eradicate forced labor from U.S. supply chains, but to reduce our dependency on China.”
