The longer this shutdown continues, the more pain our air traffic controllers and TSA employees feel. I hosted a roundtable at GRR to hear directly from West Michigan aviation professionals about their concerns, and reaffirm my commitment to ensuring that we end the shutdown so they can get paid.

West Michigan, you may start to receive notices shortly about your anticipated health care costs for 2026. I want to hear from you. If you or someone you know is anticipating a spike in health care costs starting next year, submit your story at the link below. repscholten.us/yourstory

SNAP is a lifeline for millions of families, including many West Michiganders. It helps folks put food on their tables, and yet, House Republicans’ government shutdown could put these benefits at risk starting as early as November 1st. www.axios.com/2025/10/20/s...

Shutdown could halt SNAP benefits for millions, states say

Some states announced they wouldn't give November SNAP benefits on time.

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I'm joining DWC to spread awareness about early detection & mammograms. Twice, I received the news that I had breast cancer. Twice, I was lucky to catch it. I am now a two-time survivor. Please speak with your doctor about your own risk & steps you can take.🩷

Secretary Hegseth has targeted women in the military before he was even sworn in. @demwomencaucus.bsky.social and I are demanding that he stop dismantling vital resources for women in the military and end his demeaning rhetoric towards women. Our servicewomen deserve better.

It’s always such a great night at the Grand Rapids NAACP Annual Freedom Fund Gala. West Michigan is better because of the important work of the NAACP, and I’m proud to stand alongside them as we work toward a more just future for all.

Federal Government Shutdown Impacts

Thank you for sharing your story with Rep. Scholten's office.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govOct 17(source)

Air traffic controllers, the crucial federal workers who keep our airspaces safe and planes flying smoothly, deserve to be paid for their work. I’m in DC with my T&I colleagues calling on our Republican counterparts to open the government and give these hardworking Americans the pay they’ve earned.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govOct 16(source)

Small but indeed MIGHTY, that’s our GRR! So proud of West Michigan’s pride and joy for being voted the #1 small airport in the nation. Onward and upward! 🛫 www.grr.org/news/ford-in...

Thank you to the nearly 8,000 West Michiganders who tuned in to our telephone town hall yesterday. I can’t do my job well without hearing directly from you, and events like these inspire me to keep pushing forward to deliver for our community. I’ll never stop fighting for you, West Michigan.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govOct 16(source)

It’s now week three of a government shutdown. Republicans have gone nearly a month on a taxpayer-funded vacation without work. It’s a disgrace. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are back in Washington to demand that Republicans get back to work.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govOct 15(source)

Even members of their own party know: House Republicans do not deserve a taxpayer-funded vacation when they haven’t done the work. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...
