I visited Ride YourWay in Caledonia today to see how they are improving access to non-emergency medical transportation across West Michigan. Lack of transportation should never stand between someone and their health.
Congress is not working the way it should. In last week’s Straight Talk With Scholten, I break down why progress is stalled in Washington and what needs to change to get Congress back to work for the people we represent.

I spent the morning at the West Michigan Innovation Expo talking with local manufacturing leaders about supply chains, workforce needs, and how we can keep West Michigan competitive in a global economy. I’ll keep working to make sure federal policy is supporting the workers who power our communities
Big news for West Michigan ☕️ La Colombe coffee company is investing $479 million right here in West Michigan. This means more jobs, more opportunity, and more momentum for our local economy.

Congratulations to Grand Rapids for being ranked number 2 in the nation for most confident Main Streets! This recognition shows the strength, resilience, and optimism of our small business owners and local entrepreneurs who are the backbone of our community.

Is a federal agency giving you the runaround? Do you need help getting your Social Security, your tax return, or another federal benefit?
My team and I are here to help. Please give us a call at (616) 451-8383 if we can help you like we helped Jaze!
Dangerously cold temps are headed our way this weekend. If you or someone you know needs a warm place to stay, warming shelters are open across our community. Please share this information and help make sure everyone stays safe.

Join me for the first installment of my Congressional Dialogue Series, a new space for real conversations about the issues that matter most to West Michigan. First up: discussing the skyrocketing cost of housing and what solutions can look like for our communities.
January 27, 2026 | 6–7 PM
Great meeting with the team at Sun Chemical to talk about what West Michigan manufacturers need to compete and grow. My Paving the Way for American Industry Act is focused on strengthening domestic supply chains, creating good-paying jobs, and making sure more products are made right here in America
Trump’s tariffs are driving up costs for small businesses — and families are paying the price. I asked why franchising is particularly vulnerable to Trump’s tariff policies and how small businesses are navigating these rising costs.
If a pilot is flying in the same sky, they should follow the same safety rules. My Fatigued Pilot Protection Act makes sure cargo pilots get the same rest protections as passenger pilot. Safety shouldn’t depend on who’s on the plane.
I am proud to help Buell Motorcycles secure federal financing to grow production right here in Grand Rapids and create hundreds of local jobs. This is what investing in American manufacturing looks like.
Today should be Roe v. Wade's 53rd anniversary.
Since it's been overturned:
✖️Residents in over 1/3 of U.S. counties have little or no access to maternity care
✖️Maternal mortality is increasing, especially for women of color
American women deserve their reproductive rights back.
Rural communities deserve reliable water infrastructure that supports jobs, protects our environment, and strengthens local economies. I pushed for continued bipartisan cooperation on the Water Resources Development Act, so rural towns aren’t left behind when it comes to critical water investments.
Congratulations to @MikieSherrill on being sworn in as New Jersey’s 57th Governor. Another barrier broken, and another reminder of what’s possible when women lead. Here’s to strong, steady leadership and delivering for families across the Garden State.

Shout-out to our West Michigan road crews working around the clock in blowing snow and freezing temps to keep our roads as safe and clear as possible. Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed — thank you for everything you do to keep our communities moving.

Want to thank a veteran this Valentine’s Day? Send in a valentine to our Grand Rapids office by February 7th! We’ll deliver all of them on our Valentine’s Day visit to our veterans. There’s nothing quite like a handwritten note to share our heartfelt gratitude with those who served our country.
West Michigan entrepreneurs showed up, and today Congress delivered. My AI-WISE Act and AI for Main street Act passed the House with bipartisan support, giving small businesses access to the tools they need to grow and succeed.
