More than 90% of overseas trade moves by water, and the Great Lakes play a major role in keeping goods and our economy moving. I met with the American Waterways Operators to discuss protecting Great Lakes shipping, supporting our Coast Guard, and strengthening maritime jobs here in West Michigan.

Small businesses should not have to jump through bureaucratic hoops to access the resources meant to help them grow. My Main Street BRIDGE Act would strengthen coordination between agencies so local businesses can more easily connect with the tools, guidance, and support they need to succeed.

PFAS contamination has impacted communities across Michigan, and families deserve clean, safe water. I appreciated the conversation today with NRDC and local advocates about protecting the Great Lakes, strengthening water infrastructure, and making sure polluters are held accountable.

Proud to join the National Blood Clot Alliance’s “Taking a Breath” podcast to talk about women’s health, maternal care, and the importance of listening to women when they speak up about their health. Thanks for having me for such an important conversation.

Being a mom is the greatest joy of my life. Grateful every day for these two boys who keep me grounded, keep me laughing, and remind me what matters most. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, grandmas, stepmoms, and caregivers across West Michigan today 💐

It was an honor to welcome home West Michigan veterans last night alongside Mid-Michigan Honor Flights. Seeing our community come together to celebrate their sacrifice and service is a powerful reminder that their contributions will never be forgotten.

During National Nurses Week, we show our appreciation for the wonderful nurses — including our Nursing Honor Guard — who keep West Michigan safe and healthy! These dedicated professionals are doing incredible work, day in and day out. Thank you!

I visited BAMF Health and Manifest Health today to hear more about cutting-edge cancer treatment, medical innovation, and the work to lower health care costs happening right here in West Michigan. Proud to see Grand Rapids leading in the future of health care.

Affordable housing is one of the biggest challenges facing West Michigan families, and local solutions matter. Proud to announce $307,000 for Dwelling Place of Grand Rapids through NeighborWorks America to help lower housing costs, expand supply, and strengthen neighborhoods across our community.

My heart is with the victims, loved ones, and everyone harmed by last night’s shooting in Grand Rapids. No family should have to wake up to this kind of tragedy in their community. As more information becomes available, I’m keeping all those affected in my thoughts.
Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govMay 5(source)
Happy 195th birthday to the Detroit Free Press! For generations, you’ve helped tell Michigan’s story and keep communities like West Michigan informed. Here’s to many more years of great journalism.
