I’m here to work, but Republicans just sent us home for the night. The American people are counting on us. We have 48 hours left.
Shutting the government down could cost the American taxpayer millions of dollars every single day, and a long-term shut downs have upwards of $1 billion in negative economic consequences.
So, House Republicans are going to listen to billionaire-in-chief, Elon Musk, instead of keeping Americans fed, our borders secure, and our service members paid? Make it make sense! We’re here to get the job done, let us do it. 🧵
And remember, if you need a special gift right away, shop SMALL! We have some incredible small businesses here in MI-03 with gifts and goods of every variety for your loved ones. Check out some great ideas here! www.treadstonemortgage.com/blog/grand-r...

I joined members of the Merchant Payments Coalition to collaborate on ways to increase transparency for consumers and protect small business owners from prohibitive fees. MI-03 is a growing hub for entrepreneurs and locally-owned businesses, and I'm determined to keep it that way!
More than 550 coats donated and COUNTLESS hearts warmed at last week’s Mix 95.7 Warm Hearts Coat Drive. It was so special to join Big Joe and Laura in spreading some holiday joy to our community this winter. Looking forward to the next one!

Lake Michigan is our pride and joy in MI-03, and the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative would protect and preserve our waterways for generations to come. I’m working with colleagues across the aisle to pass GLRI and invigorate our local economy. Read more. www.eenews.net/articles/bip...
Seasons greetings! Remember to send your handmade ornaments to decorate our tree in our D.C. office! If you are an elf – I mean a young ornament maker – or know one, see this video for more information on how to send in your ornament. Happy decorating, West Michigan! 🎄
I seek common ground in common sense, especially regarding clean energy policy – and I’m so thankful to the Department of Treasury for incorporating my suggestions and finalizing my rule. More here. thehill.com/policy/energ...
Twelve years ago today, we lost 20 beautiful, young students and 6 educators in the senseless, tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary. I pray for the families of the victims.
Our children deserve a future free of gun violence. We don't have to continue living like this.
Accessible, affordable housing should include EVERYONE. Thank you to Academy Manor and the Dominican Sisters of Grand Rapids for hosting me and being such incredible partners in the work to help our seniors thrive in their golden years.
With many cold, wintry weeks ahead of us, it was so meaningful to participate in the Mix 957 Warm Hearts coat drive in Wyoming today. Let’s continue supporting our neighbors however we can, West Michigan. Our warmth is what makes our community so special. 🧥
Team Scholten hosted our interviews for prospective applicants to our nation’s prestigious service academies today, and WOW, these students are impressive! I know we'll have a tough time selecting finalists – we have so many future leaders to be proud of here in MI-03.
If you can’t pass a background check, there’s a reason. If you’re buying or building a ghost gun to get around that, THERE'S A REASON.
Ghost guns have no place in our communities — so let's find common ground in common sense and take action now.

Thank you to our D.C. office fall semester interns who have been working for the people of West Michigan since August. Team Scholten and our constituents are grateful for your service!
Hoping for nothing but the best for all of you!
MI-03 is home to some AMAZING small, Black-owned businesses, like Basic Bee, where I got this lovely frock to wear to the VP’s residence yesterday. It’s so special to get to show off the best that West Michigan has to offer here in D.C. Thank you, Basic Bee!
I hosted leaders from Radiant Nuclear to discuss a brighter, cleaner future driven by green technology and jobs. I’m working hard to generate good-paying jobs for West Michiganders that contribute positively to a climate-friendly world.
❄️Wind chills near zero, school closures, winter is here, West Michigan! Make sure to bundle up and drive carefully on icy roads. ❄️
