Five years ago today, our democracy was violently attacked.
We honor the courage and sacrifice of the U.S. Capitol Police, DC Metropolitan Police, and all those who stood to defend the Capitol and our democratic institutions, especially those who lost their lives in that service.

Today, I met with the American Cancer Society and community advocates to discuss cancer research, early detection, and access to affordable care. We talked about the importance of protecting coverage, investing in research, and expanding access to preventive health equipment in rural communities.
Today, I sat down with West Michigan leaders in business and child care to talk about my bipartisan Tri-Share Child Care Pilot Act — a proven model that splits child care costs evenly between workers, employers, and government.
Donald Trump and Republicans have broken their promise to lower costs. As of January 1, the Affordable Care Act tax credits expired, raising health care premiums for families across West Michigan and the country. I’m fighting to restore these credits and lower costs.
Join me for the first installment of my Congressional Dialogue Series, a space for conversations about the issues that matter most to West Michigan. First we are discussing the cost of housing and potential solutions.

New year, same priorities for West Michigan:

It’s the honor of my life to serve you and I can’t wait to do it again in this brand new year. Our best days are still ahead, West Michigan!
Go Blue! Excited to see the Michigan Wolverines take on Texas in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on New Year’s Eve. What a way to cap an incredible season and celebrate Michigan pride. Best of luck to our players, coaches, and fans in Orlando! 🏈
If we trust computers to fly planes, we can trust them to store critical paperwork. It’s beyond time for the FAA to transition to digital documentation to prevent counterfeit parts and keep people safe.

A Year of Delivering for West Michigan:
In December, I introduced bipartisan Tri-Share child care legislation to create a federal pilot program that splits child care costs three ways between families, employers, and government — helping working parents keep their paycheck and stay in the workforce.
The Month of December was a busy one and we accomplished so much on your behalf!
Keeping in touch with MI-03 neighbors helps me do my job better. This year, Team Scholten sent more than 92,000 letters of correspondence to West Michiganders – boasting one of the quickest response times in Congress!
Happy Kwanzaa to all who are celebrating. Wishing you a joyful week surrounded by loved ones!
A Year of Delivering for West Michigan — Daily Highlight:
Secured $2.1 million for Grand River dredging, supporting navigation, flood mitigation, and economic activity tied to commercial shipping and recreation in West Michigan.
