Congressman John Moolenaar represents the residents of Michigan's Fourth Congressional District. He is currently a member of the House Appropriations Committee.
Moolenaar brings years of leadership experience in the private and public sectors to Congress. He has worked as a chemist and business development director, and as a school administrator.
As a public servant, Moolenaar has been elected to the Midland City Council, the Michigan House of Representatives, and the Michigan Senate. Moolenaar and his wife Amy have raised six children. He has a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Hope College and a master's degree in Public Administration from Harvard University.
The hardworking families of mid and northern Michigan understand how to balance their checkbook, and the federal government needs to do the same.
Plain and simple, our obligations are growing faster than our ability to pay them. Our $18 trillion national debt burden is unsustainable. The federal government’s spending has eroded economic confidence and caused uncertainty for job creators. We must find a way to get our spending under control.
As a member of the House Committee on the Budget, I will fight to control spending, remove waste and eliminate the federal deficit.
