This week, I spoke to the Ways and Means Committee to advocate for the passage of my bill to extend energy credits, expand our green economy, and support our domestic energy and agriculture. Shoutout to my colleague Rep. Aaron Bean for snapping these pics during the hearing!

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and there’s still time to get in your Valentine for a Veteran! Let’s let our vets know how much their sacrifice and service is appreciated. More info below!

🚨REMEMBER: When you see the lights of an emergency vehicle on the side of the road, slow down and move over. Our first responders are doing everything they can to keep us safe. Let’s do the same for them, West Michigan. www.wzzm13.com/article/news...

'SLOW DOWN!' | MSP urges drivers to pay attention to emergency vehicles after cruiser hit

No one was injured in the crash, but both vehicles involved were disabled.

No matter our politics, Americans facing threats from foreign countries deserve to be protected. I’m concerned by this move by President Trump that puts former officials from his first administration at risk. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/u...

Trump Revokes Security Detail for Pompeo and Others, Despite Threats From Iran

The officials had been part of an aggressive posture against Iran during President Trump’s first term.

We didn't stand for it then, and we won't stand for it this time.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 24(source)

Let's be clear, America has the right to enforce our immigration laws, but HOW we do it matters. ICE is required to follow the law, and racial profiling is still illegal. We've seen a fact pattern like this play out here in Grand Rapids during the first Trump term. 🧵

Mayor accuses ICE of detaining veteran and U.S. citizens in N.J. immigration raid

ICE raids have been expected as part of President Trump's vow to crackdown on immigration.

And no matter what the current nominee for Defense Secretary believes, women service members belong in our military just as much as men do.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 24(source)

On this day in 2013, women servicemembers were finally permitted to enter direct combat – an important equalizing step for those willing to serve our country. I thank the servicewomen that have and are fighting for our freedom. Your sacrifices do not go unnoticed.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 24(source)

Affordable housing is the bedrock upon which our diverse communities are able to grow and flourish. I was happy to host Pat Combs, a career-long leader in local real estate, to discuss the multitude of ways we can increase access to affordable housing in MI-03.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 23(source)

At a time of fragile economic recovery, we need confidence and clarity instead. I'll never stop working towards common sense policies that ensure all of America's diverse talent can thrive.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 23(source)

It not only dismantled government DEI agencies but revoked a 1965 executive order prohibiting government contractors from discriminating against employees and applicants. This order is creating fear and confusion in the government and private sector alike.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 23(source)

We need a real, solutions-based conversation in this country about how to continue to ensure that the best and brightest rise to the top. Trump's abrupt DEI order ain't it, folks.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 23(source)

Merit-based hiring should always be the practice — whether in government, the military, or the private sector. That's why so many companies have implemented policies over the years to remove barriers preventing the most qualified candidates from getting the job, because of their race or gender.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 23(source)

There's A LOT going on right now. Let's get into the weeds of Trump's recent executive order to end DEI efforts in federal offices. 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/01/23/b...

President Trump must make good on our promise to our allies, honor our commitment to these individuals, and admit them. They have already undergone thorough vetting and preparation. MI-03 is home to so many wonderful Afghan families.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 23(source)

Over 1,600 Afghans, including those who risked their lives supporting our service members and the family members of U.S. military members, have had their flights canceled despite having the approval to relocate to the U.S., including here in Michigan. This is devastating.

Afghan refugees feel abandoned after Trump executive order halts flights

The fate of tens of thousands of Afghans awaiting resettlement in the U.S. hangs in the balance after Trump suspended the refugee admissions program.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 23(source)

Today we celebrate the anniversary of the 24th Amendment and the subsequent ending of poll taxes, which made it harder for poor — mainly Black Americans — to vote. Let us continue working to expand access to the ballot box to ensure every American voter’s voice is heard.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 23(source)

Our children deserve to grow up without fear of being killed by gun violence. This National Gun Violence Survivors Week, we honor the brave survivors of gun violence while remaining steadfast in our work toward a future free of gun violence altogether.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 22(source)

Today should be Roe v. Wade's 52nd 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 BIPOC women American women deserve their reproductive rights back.
