Happy New Year!
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.

The holidays can be an incredibly challenging time. It’s important to know that you are NOT alone and that resources and help are available to those who need it. If you are in a crisis, call 988 for free, 24/7 mental health support.
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The Power Plant Reliability Act would keep costly, outdated power plants running and stick families with the bill.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.
