🚨 HAPPENING NOW: Tune in to my telephone town hall NOW by dialing 855-286-0280. Looking forward to speaking directly with you, West Michigan. 📲
NEXT WEEK: I'll be hosting a telephone town hall and would love to hear from you. This will be a great chance for you to ask me questions directly and for me to provide some updates on the important work I'm doing to push back on the Trump and House Republican agenda. Hope you can tune in.
Medicaid is a lifeline for 2.3 million Michiganders. Today @rephaleystevens.bsky.social and I called on President Trump to stop playing political games with Medicaid. I’ve heard from countless families whose lives would be upended by this disastrous move — I won’t stand for it. #ProtectMedicaid
We’re so grateful for our Coasties for their service to keep Americans safe along our shorelines. As they told me today: no ice is safe ice, so be careful out there, West Michigan.
Today I had a chance to observe a training exercise of the U.S. Coast Guard’s ice rescue operations — one of the services our Coasties lead to save lives every winter. I’m determined to ensure they have the resources necessary to continue carrying out these crucial missions.
On Presidents’ Day, I’m thinking about the legacy of West Michigander, President Gerald R. Ford. I follow in his footsteps in sharing the same commitment to doing the very best I can for MI-03 and our nation. Happy #PresidentsDay, West Michigan!
I came to Congress to build an economy where every American has the chance to not just get by, but to get ahead! As a returning Member of the @equality.house.gov, I'm committed to ensuring fairness for the LGBTQ+ community at every turn!
I proudly served at the Department of Justice before being elected to Congress, which is why I'm so concerned about the potential ethics violations of Trump's appointees at the DOJ. 🧵
Happy Valentine’s Day! Thank you to every West Michigander who sent Team Scholten a Valentine for a Veteran, it meant the world to share our community’s appreciation with these heroes.
Purging over 100,000 federal employees—including 1,000+ VA workers—is a complete abandonment of those who fought for our freedom. Our veterans deserve top-of-the-line care, not increased wait times and understaffed facilities. The Trump Admin must do better for our veterans & their families.
As the daughter of an educator, I'm determined to advocate for our schools and students here in Congress. I met with leaders from NEA Michigan to discuss how we can keep supporting public schools and protecting the crucial funding needed to educate our next generation of change-makers.
NEXT WEEK: I'll be hosting a telephone town hall and would love to hear from you. This will be a great chance for you to ask me questions directly and for me to provide some updates on the important work I'm doing to push back on the Trump and House Republican agenda. Hope you can tune in.
Wrapping up a week of votes in Washington, and I wanted to give a quick recap of the work I’m focused on, West Michigan. 📲If you’d like to hear more directly from me and ask questions yourself, tune into my telephone town hall next Wednesday, February 19th, at 5:30 pm! Hope to hear from you.
It was great to speak with West Michigan Fire Chiefs about keeping firefighters safe from PFAS, expanding their workforce, and advocating for the funding they need to continue serving our community.
It's been two years since the tragic shooting at Michigan State University where we lost three innocent souls. My prayers are with the families of the victims and the entire MSU community today.
