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.

Proud to see Core Plaza breathing new life into downtown Muskegon by preserving history and creating space for local businesses to grow. Investments like these strengthen our communities and expand opportunities for entrepreneurs across West Michigan.

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.
Renee Good deserved a long life with her children and an ICE agent took that away.
In last week’s Straight Talk With Scholten, I talk about Congress’s responsibility to do oversight and hold federal agencies like ICE accountable.
Watch the full episode below.

This isn’t how we do things in Michigan. We value a free press.
The First Amendment exists to protect journalists from political pressure. Bullying newsrooms into changing coverage is unacceptable— we need the press to continue keeping power accountable. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/17/b...
Thanks @NatGeo for putting this West Michigan gem on your winter must-visit list. Our Lake Michigan parks are stunning year-round, and I love seeing the world take notice of the beauty we get to call home.

Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by continuing the work he led. The fight for justice and equality is ongoing, and I remain committed to doing my part to help build a more just country for every family.
Honored to join the Urban League of West Michigan for their annual MLK Breakfast this morning. Dr. King’s legacy lives on through the work happening right here in our community to expand opportunity and equity.
ICE admitting it “made a mistake” after deporting a college student is not accountability. When federal agencies ignore court orders and upend lives, Congress has a responsibility to step in. I will continue using every oversight tool available to protect due process.
West Michigan is stepping up to lead on responsible AI. This investment will help GVSU build the tools, partnerships, and research capacity needed to train the next generation of innovators, strengthen our workforce, and keep the U.S. competitive in emerging technologies.
From Washington to West Michigan, Straight Talk With Scholten breaks down the issues that matter. Subscribe on YouTube.

Turning contamination into opportunity. This project will help clean up Harbor Island, protect our water, and give the community back a space they can safely enjoy.
Proud to congratulate my friend and former colleague Abigail Spanberger on her inauguration as Virginia’s first-ever woman Governor. Seeing more women leading at the highest levels matters, and I know she will deliver for Virginians.
In this week’s Straight Talk With Scholten, I talk about Congress’s responsibility to hold ICE accountable. I also explain why transparency and oversight matter.

My statement on President Trump threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act.
More than $1 million is headed to Grand Rapids to upgrade the Water Resource Recovery Facility’s UV disinfection system. This investment will protect public health, keep our water clean, and help safeguard the Grand River and Lake Michigan for future generations.
I introduced a bipartisan bill to make sure workers with vocational training, certifications, and apprenticeships are counted in federal workforce data. If we want to invest smarter and create good-paying jobs, we have to recognize every path to success.

When emergencies happen, seconds matter. This investment for the Real Time Intelligence Center helps local agencies share information faster, respond more effectively, and keep families and first responders safe.
Already 24,000 fewer Michiganders have signed up for ACA plans compared with last year. When insurance gets more expensive, families can’t get the care they need. I’ll keep fighting to lower health care costs and protect affordable coverage for everyone.
