Moolenaar: Biden’s Record of Failure on Display in Michigan as Health Concerns Grow

July 12, 2024

“President Biden’s failed policies have caused inflation to skyrocket over the last three years and Michigan families feel the pain every time they go to the grocery store. They are also increasingly concerned that the president’s health makes him unfit for office. I hope Michigan reporters will ask the President directly if he has the capacity to serve as the leader of the free world and make crucial decisions about the safety of our servicemembers and national security,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

Moolenaar Votes to Protect American Elections

July 10, 2024

Press Release

“Voting is a fundamental right for American citizens to determine who will represent them in government and lead their communities. Unfortunately, a loophole allows for non-citizens to register to vote in federal elections simply by claiming they are U.S. citizens. This common-sense legislation closes the loophole and requires proof of citizenship to register to vote. I applaud the House for passing this important bill, and the Senate should consider it immediately,” said Moolenaar.

July 3, 2024

Press Release

“Michigan parents’ top priority is putting food on the table for their children, and sadly, that job is harder due to higher food costs caused by President Biden’s failed policies. For affordable and nutritious food, we must support family farms here in Michigan, but the Biden administration has made it more difficult for them to grow and harvest the food we need. Finally, the Senate Agriculture Committee, which is led by Democrats, should pass a Farm Bill that supports our farmers,” said Congressman John Moolenaar, who represents Middleville in the House of Representatives.
