I met with the Council of Michigan Foundations to discuss how we can better support the important organizations working for our communities.

Republicans want you to believe that this bill would only ban undocumented immigrants from driving, the reality is it also bans those who are lawfully present here and authorized to drive. Creating an even more severe worker shortage in the trucking industry. abc7.com/post/law-ban...

Law banning immigrants from driving trucks will raise prices for Americans, officials say

President Trump's push to pass a law banning immigrants from driving big rigs trucks could end up costing Americans more at the store.

SBA staffing cuts are hitting communities like West Michigan. I asked how a 27% reduction is impacting services and wait times for small businesses that rely on this support.

92,000 jobs lost. 4.4% unemployment. One year in, these are the direct results of Trump’s economic policies. He’s putting real families, real paychecks, and real stability on the line. West Michigan workers deserve better.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govMar 18(source)

I spoke with GRR to talk through what they’re seeing on the ground. They need a new control tower, plain and simple. I’m continuing to push the FAA to move faster here.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govMar 18(source)

This St. Patrick’s Day, one thing is clear: No one should need luck to afford the basics. But under the Trump Administration, costs are rising and families are being squeezed even more. I’m focused on lowering costs and delivering for West Michigan families.

Honored to receive the Champion of Biogas Award from the American Biogas Council today. Biogas and biodigester technology are creating new opportunities for farmers, strengthening our energy independence, and reducing emissions. I’m proud to support this growing industry.

Following reports that a U.S. strike in Iran hit a school and killed at least 168 civilians, most of them children, I sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth demanding answers.

Thank you to everyone who came out for my first Congressional Dialogue Series. We had a great conversation about the rising costs of housing and the solutions our communities need. I’m grateful for the chance to hear directly from West Michiganders.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govMar 13(source)

Everyone deserves a safe, stable place to call home, but the housing crisis is putting that promise out of reach for too many families. People are working hard and still can’t afford housing. We need solutions that bring costs down so everyone has a place to live.

Today I visited the Amazon fulfillment center in Caledonia. It was great to see how small businesses in West Michigan are using the platform to grow and reach new customers.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govMar 12(source)

I stopped by Cascade Engineering today to learn about their new flood barrier technology being developed and manufactured here in West Michigan. Investments in flood resilience help keep our communities safe and protect local infrastructure.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govMar 12(source)

I joined West Michigan farmers at Green Wagon Farm today for a roundtable conversation about agriculture, conservation, and the challenges facing family farms. I’m grateful for the chance to listen and bring their voices back to Washington.
