92,000 jobs lost. 4.4% unemployment.
One year in, these are the direct results of Trump’s economic policies. He’s putting real families, real paychecks, and real stability on the line. West Michigan workers deserve better.

I spoke with GRR to talk through what they’re seeing on the ground.
They need a new control tower, plain and simple. I’m continuing to push the FAA to move faster here.
This St. Patrick’s Day, one thing is clear: No one should need luck to afford the basics.
But under the Trump Administration, costs are rising and families are being squeezed even more.
I’m focused on lowering costs and delivering for West Michigan families.
Honored to receive the Champion of Biogas Award from the American Biogas Council today. Biogas and biodigester technology are creating new opportunities for farmers, strengthening our energy independence, and reducing emissions. I’m proud to support this growing industry.
Following reports that a U.S. strike in Iran hit a school and killed at least 168 civilians, most of them children, I sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth demanding answers.
Getting young people engaged in our democracy is so important. If you’re a young person in West Michigan who wants to stay informed about what’s happening in Washington without all the noise, sign up for my weekly newsletter to stay in the loop.

Great conversation at Alta Equipment Company about workforce development, infrastructure, and the future of Michigan’s construction industry.
The Grand Rapids Public Museum is opening its Streets of Old Grand Rapids exhibit in May. If you’re in the area, go check it out and support one of our great local museums.

Thank you to everyone who came out for my first Congressional Dialogue Series. We had a great conversation about the rising costs of housing and the solutions our communities need. I’m grateful for the chance to hear directly from West Michiganders.
Everyone deserves a safe, stable place to call home, but the housing crisis is putting that promise out of reach for too many families. People are working hard and still can’t afford housing. We need solutions that bring costs down so everyone has a place to live.
Today I visited the Amazon fulfillment center in Caledonia. It was great to see how small businesses in West Michigan are using the platform to grow and reach new customers.
I stopped by Cascade Engineering today to learn about their new flood barrier technology being developed and manufactured here in West Michigan. Investments in flood resilience help keep our communities safe and protect local infrastructure.
I joined West Michigan farmers at Green Wagon Farm today for a roundtable conversation about agriculture, conservation, and the challenges facing family farms. I’m grateful for the chance to listen and bring their voices back to Washington.
Thank you to the lineworkers and emergency crews restoring power across Michigan after severe storms knocked out electricity for thousands of residents. Your work keeps our communities safe and connected.

My Statement on the Attack in West Bloomfield.
Team Scholten’s internship application is now live! If you are a college student or recent grad looking for a great experience serving West Michiganders, visit repscholten.us/intern to apply.
I met some incredible athletes today at the Special Olympics North America Athlete Congress in Grand Rapids. It’s so inspiring to see the leadership and confidence they’re building together.
Gas prices in West Michigan are rising as oil climbs above $100 a barrel. When families here at home feel the impact of global conflict, Congress has a responsibility to ask tough questions and demand accountability.

I had the best time reading with students at the Boston Square Early Learning Center for National Reading Month. A room full of young readers is a pretty great way to spend the morning.
