HUGE NEWS: H.R. 9285, my bill to rename the Comstock Park Post Office in honor of Captain Miguel Justin Nava was just SIGNED INTO LAW by President Biden. This means so much to our community and Captain Nava's family. A father, husband, and son, he was the absolute best of us. 🧵

How delightful to see two of my favorite things succeeding: the @detroitlionsnfl AND small businesses! When searching for your 1st (or 10th, or 100th… I don’t judge!) piece of Lions memorabilia, consider shopping small to support our local entrepreneurs. www.fox17online.com/sports/detro...

From a very young age, my family has instilled a spirit of service and community & country before self in me – one I practice every day as your Congresswoman. With their continued support, and your trust in me, I’m ready for these next two years serving the people of MI-03. Let’s do this thing!

The holidays can be an incredibly challenging time for some of us. It’s important to know that you are NOT alone and that resources and help are available to those who need it. If you are in a crisis, call 988 for free, 24/7 mental health support.

Thank you to the kiddos in West Michigan who sent in homemade ornaments and holiday cards to decorate Team Scholten’s D.C. office and holiday tree! They brought the holiday cheer!

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was harmful and wrong. Today, we celebrate 14 years since its repeal, which ensured LGBTQ+ service members could serve our country while being their truest selves. Let's keep pushing to guarantee equality for every American. #LoveIsLove
