The Great Lakes are vital to our culture and way of life in Michigan, and the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative does critical work protecting these waters and safeguarding public health.

The Power Plant Reliability Act would keep costly, outdated power plants running and stick families with the bill. These decisions aren’t made on a whim — they come after years of study to keep power reliable and costs low.

Michigan families and small businesses shouldn’t have to pay the price for President Trump’s chaotic, reckless tariffs — especially during the holidays. That’s why I am introducing the Trump Tariff Transparency Act.

A Year of Delivering for West Michigan — Daily Highlight:
I founded the Lowering Costs Caucus, bringing together members of Congress focused on lowering everyday costs like child care, housing, health care, and utilities for working families.

For West Michiganders needing assistance with a federal agency, Team Scholten is here to help you! In 2025 alone, I secured over $12 million returned to your pockets.
A Year of Delivering for West Michigan — Daily Highlight:
Stopped proposed cuts and brought in $4.9 million to support Michigan manufacturers, strengthening local businesses and jobs in West Michigan.

A Year of Delivering for West Michigan —
I fought back against DOGE – and won. By pushing back on harmful cuts, I secured over $16 million for security improvements at Gerald R. Ford International Airport, making travel safer and supporting West Michigan jobs.

Over $11.5 MILLION! That’s how much grant funding I secured for West Michigan in 2025, delivering resources for essential projects that strengthen our communities.
Keeping the lights on matters. But forcing power plants to stay open from Washington can drive up utility bills. West Michigan families deserve reliable power without higher monthly costs.

For states like Michigan, climate and weather research matters. From flooding to severe storms, science helps protect lives and livelihoods. Undermining institutions like the National Center for Atmospheric Research makes us less prepared, not safer.

The House discharge petition now has the necessary 218 signatures to demand a vote on the floor.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s happening. @houserepublicans.bsky.social need to bring this bill to the floor today. Now.
Veterans across West Michigan rely on timely, high-quality care from the VA. Cuts that shrink the VA workforce threaten longer wait times and fewer services for the men and women who served our country. We owe our veterans better than that.

Horrified by the news coming out of Brown University tonight. We should not have to live in fear of gun violence. I am grateful for the first responders on the scene and my prayers are with the victims and their families.
A $12B bailout won’t erase the chaos this administration has caused for our farmers. It’s a band-aid on a crisis of the president’s own making — and it falls far short of what Argentina has received. Michigan’s agricultural communities deserve better.

Thanks to our fall intern cohort in our Washington D.C. office: Max, Davis, and Sanaya. West Michigan is grateful for your public service!
Today, we honor the memory of soldiers, sailors, and civilians who died on December 7, 1941. We remember the heroes who served that fateful day and commend the veterans who chose to join the fight in the days that followed.
On this day in 1865, the 13th Amendment abolished slavery in the United States, a first step in the long fight for equality for Black Americans. We must never forget the horrors of slavery and stand committed to the ongoing work of expanding justice and opportunity for all.
A big change to our federal student loan system is coming — and it hits women the hardest. New limits could make it harder to enter the careers our communities rely on.
I break it all down in this week’s Straight Talk With Scholten. Watch the full episode at the link below.

At this week’s Small Business Committee hearing, I had the opportunity to question Ms. Lisa Plaggemier about AI and cybersecurity and what small businesses need to stay protected.
