Great to speak at this morning’s Eastown Community Association’s Annual Meeting alongside members of the Eastown community! I’m determined to make our communities more inclusive, accessible, and functional for all neighbors, and it’s great to have ECA as a partner in this effort.

Rep. Scholten Champions Bill to Block Musk and His Loyalists from Accessing Americans’ Sensitive Data

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Congresswoman Hillary Scholten (MI03) announced she is championing the Taxpayer Data Protection Act alongside over 141 House Democrats.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govFeb 8(source)

I'm glad a judge has stepped in to block Musk and DOGE from illegally accessing your private data. But this is only temporary. That's why Congress needs to pass my CLEAR Act and Taxpayer Data Protection Act to prevent corruption and keep your data away from unelected billionaires.

Judge Halts DOGE Access to Treasury Payment Systems

The order came in response to a lawsuit filed by 19 attorneys general accusing the president of failing to faithfully execute the nation’s laws when he let DOGE comb through federal computer systems.

DEADLINE EXTENDED: We’re extending our deadline for Valentine for Veteran submissions to WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12th to ensure there’s enough time to get all of the thoughtful valentines in. More below on specifics!

Let’s see your red, West Michigan, it’s #WearRedDay for heart health! Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer of American women, so let’s continue funding research so we can one day conquer this awful disease.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govFeb 7(source)

If President Trump, Elon Musk, and their loyalists at DOGE are working in the American people's best interest, my bill shouldn't scare them. Let's pass the CLEAR Act so agencies like DOGE are subject to FOIA requests. The American public deserves to know where their taxpayer dollars are being spent.

Scholten introduces bill to open Musk and DOGE to FOIA provisions • Michigan Advance

U.S. Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-Grand Rapids) on Thursday introduced legislation she says will provide accountability about the actions of billionaire Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficien...

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govFeb 7(source)

On his first day in office, Trump shut down the White House office that worked on gender equity. Every day since, there have been more attacks on women's and families’ data, funding, and access to information & care. Trump’s attacks on women are undeniable. My DWC colleagues and I are fighting back.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govFeb 7(source)

Kuyper College is a leader among our nation’s work colleges, and I’m determined to support their efforts to prepare our neighbors for the workforce. I had a productive conversation with Kuyper College President Harris about continuing our efforts to bolster the economy with our best and brightest.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govFeb 6(source)

Please join me at my next telephone town hall on February 19 at 5:30 pm. I want to hear from you and I want to share even more about the ways I’m working for you in Washington.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govFeb 6(source)

West Michigan—what a year this month has been! Thank you for all your calls, emails and all of you regular readers of my newsletter. Let’s get together and talk about this moment we’re facing as a community and a country.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govFeb 6(source)

Always a pleasure to meet with Michigan Dept. of Transportation officials, who are committed partners in improving our roads, increasing driver safety, and keeping our communities connected across MI-03 and beyond.

Rep. Scholten, Oversight Dems Introduce Bill to Hold Musk, DOGE Accountable to the American Taxpayer

Today, U.S.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govFeb 6(source)

No matter if an agency exists for one month or one hundred years, it shouldn’t be exempt from FOIA requests. Rep. Connolly, Rep. Min, and Rep. Mfume have joined me as co-leads on this legislation. Democrat or Republican, we must ensure we’re holding our government accountable to American taxpayers.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govFeb 6(source)

Knowledge is power, and in America, that power belongs to the people. Let’s CLEAR things up: Today, I’m introducing the CLEAR Act — Consistent Legal Expectations and Access to Records — to ensure that Americans know how every government agency is spending their tax dollars.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govFeb 6(source)

I went on the record at this week’s Small Business Committee hearing to hold Republicans accountable for destabilizing families and harming kids – which directly impacts our Small Businesses. Watch more here. youtu.be/SRgYZ-lQMM8

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govFeb 6(source)

To have a strong workforce, our working parents need reliable childcare. President Trump’s recent funding freeze put the future of childcare facilities nationwide – including Head Start facilities in MI-03 – in limbo. 🧵

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govFeb 6(source)

MI-03 is proud to be home to a robust agricultural community, and I’m working hard to protect our farmers from harmful policies while supporting their growth. Great to meet with members of the Michigan Agri-Business Association to ensure our partners in ag have what they need to succeed.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govFeb 5(source)

I spoke with @acluofmichigan.bsky.social Executive Director Loren Khogali today about continued efforts to ensure West Michiganders’ rights are being protected – crucial work in our current chaotic political landscape. Thank you to everyone at the ACLU for the work you do to defend civil liberties.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govFeb 5(source)

I’m committed to fighting for an equal playing field for them to thrive! May they continue to make HERstory. #ngwsd2025 🏅

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govFeb 5(source)

Since I was young, participating in sports at all levels has shaped my life—giving me strength & confidence. This Girls and Women in Sports Day, we celebrate the trailblazing athletes of the past, present, and future.
