Grand Haven’s harbor supports over 450 jobs and generates $88.8 million annually in regional economic impact, and dredging is a critical part of that. I have been working for months to protect the necessary dredging schedule, but we’re now at a tipping point.

Great visit to Fish Window Cleaning—proud to see this franchise, with 2 locations in our district, thriving since starting in 2003. I am grateful for the chance to talk franchising & worker protections and continue the conversations we started back in DC!

Cuts to Medicaid would threaten children’s health care and jobs that employ hardworking West Michiganders. I’m pushing back to any proposed cut on Medicaid funding.

The Muskegon Innovation Hub at Grand Valley State University is truly one-of-a-kind! I’m so impressed by the work they do to support small businesses and entrepreneurs through programming, grants, coaching, and more. Keep innovating!

I stopped by the DaVita Dialysis Clinic in Grand Rapids where I met Tina, a lifelong Lions fan who is fighting for a new kidney. I’m proud of the work DaVita is doing to deliver care to West Michigan, so that people like Tina can live healthier, happier lives.

As a member of the House Small Business Committee, I know how vital small businesses are to West Michigan, which is why I'm committed to ensuring they have the support they need to thrive.

Today, I visited Elevated Tech, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business that maintains 2,000+ elevators in the nation’s most iconic buildings and hospitals.

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

I love getting to speak with women small business owners – they’re truly forging their own paths in the world of business!

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

As an attorney and sitting Member of Congress, I cannot overstate how dangerous and disturbing it is to watch the President of the United States openly defy the Supreme Court. His behavior tears at the core of our democracy and is not just reckless–it’s lawless.

I’m proud to display the portrait of Shamony Gibson outside my Washington office and am determined to keep working toward health equity for Black women in honor of all the beautiful souls we’ve lost.

I truly enjoyed meeting with leaders from Coopersville and Polkton Townships today. Hearing from local leaders about issues their constituents are facing inspires to keep delivering for West Michigan.

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

West Michigan has a rich history in furniture production, and MillerKnoll is an important part of that history. Loved touring their Spring Lake facility today to learn more about their day-to-day work and discuss the support they need from the federal level to keep thriving.

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

Financial literacy can be the difference between getting by and getting ahead. It was great to talk with students with SIFMA today about the connections between Congress and Capital Markets.

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

I sat on a Protect Medicaid Roundtable to collaborate with @ltgovgilchrist.bsky.social and advocates on ways we can keep pushing back on cuts to Medicaid and ensure folks get the health care they deserve.
