I spent the morning at the West Michigan Innovation Expo talking with local manufacturing leaders about supply chains, workforce needs, and how we can keep West Michigan competitive in a global economy. I’ll keep working to make sure federal policy is supporting the workers who power our communities

Congratulations to Grand Rapids for being ranked number 2 in the nation for most confident Main Streets! This recognition shows the strength, resilience, and optimism of our small business owners and local entrepreneurs who are the backbone of our community. www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...

Join me for the first installment of my Congressional Dialogue Series, a new space for real conversations about the issues that matter most to West Michigan. First up: discussing the skyrocketing cost of housing and what solutions can look like for our communities. January 27, 2026 | 6–7 PM
Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 23(source)
Great meeting with the team at Sun Chemical to talk about what West Michigan manufacturers need to compete and grow. My Paving the Way for American Industry Act is focused on strengthening domestic supply chains, creating good-paying jobs, and making sure more products are made right here in America
Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 22(source)
Trump’s tariffs are driving up costs for small businesses — and families are paying the price. I asked why franchising is particularly vulnerable to Trump’s tariff policies and how small businesses are navigating these rising costs.

If a pilot is flying in the same sky, they should follow the same safety rules. My Fatigued Pilot Protection Act makes sure cargo pilots get the same rest protections as passenger pilot. Safety shouldn’t depend on who’s on the plane.

I am proud to help Buell Motorcycles secure federal financing to grow production right here in Grand Rapids and create hundreds of local jobs. This is what investing in American manufacturing looks like.

Today should be Roe v. Wade's 53rd anniversary. Since it's been overturned: ✖️Residents in over 1/3 of U.S. counties have little or no access to maternity care ✖️Maternal mortality is increasing, especially for women of color American women deserve their reproductive rights back.

Rural communities deserve reliable water infrastructure that supports jobs, protects our environment, and strengthens local economies. I pushed for continued bipartisan cooperation on the Water Resources Development Act, so rural towns aren’t left behind when it comes to critical water investments.

Congratulations to @MikieSherrill on being sworn in as New Jersey’s 57th Governor. Another barrier broken, and another reminder of what’s possible when women lead. Here’s to strong, steady leadership and delivering for families across the Garden State. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/n...
Mikie Sherrill Is Sworn In as Governor of New Jersey
Ms. Sherrill beat a Republican endorsed by President Trump and did what no politician in New Jersey has done since 1961: win her party a third consecutive term in the governor’s office.

Shout-out to our West Michigan road crews working around the clock in blowing snow and freezing temps to keep our roads as safe and clear as possible. Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed — thank you for everything you do to keep our communities moving. www.fox17online.com/news/local-n...

Want to thank a veteran this Valentine’s Day? Send in a valentine to our Grand Rapids office by February 7th! We’ll deliver all of them on our Valentine’s Day visit to our veterans. There’s nothing quite like a handwritten note to share our heartfelt gratitude with those who served our country.

West Michigan entrepreneurs showed up, and today Congress delivered. My AI-WISE Act and AI for Main street Act passed the House with bipartisan support, giving small businesses access to the tools they need to grow and succeed.
Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 20(source)
While President Trump promised to “end inflation,” families are paying the price. New data shows households spent over $1,600 more last year on essentials like housing and transportation. West Michigan families deserve real solutions that lower costs.
