November is Military Family Appreciation Month, and I’m thinking of the Nava family during this reflective time. After Captain Miguel Justin Nava tragically passed in a helicopter training accident, his family has been working tirelessly to cement his legacy in our West Michigan community.

My priorities remain the same as always — protecting affordable health care and re-opening the government.

Reminder: Republicans had a choice. They could have grounded billionaire jets, but they chose to ground the American people instead. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/08/g...

Transportation Sec. Duffy warns air travel will be 'reduced to a trickle,' with flight cancellations worsening as the shutdown drags on

Airlines will have to slash hundreds of more flights if shutdown continues into next week.

Republicans are using the courts to block full SNAP benefits while families in West Michigan face uncertainty about their next meal. Food is not optional — stop taking it off the table. www.axios.com/2025/11/09/t...

Trump administration orders states "undo" full SNAP benefits

The Trump administration is fiercely fighting a judge's order to fully fund SNAP benefits.

It’s disheartening to know that both our president and the highest court in the land are taking extreme measures to withhold food from low-income Americans. We are so much better than this. apnews.com/article/snap...

Supreme Court issues emergency order to block full SNAP food aid payments

The Supreme Court has granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govNov 8(source)

This is unprecedented. Sec. Duffy and the FAA must be transparent about this decision and explain how this will impact our aviation efficiency and safety. It’s long past time to open the government. We’re losing important progress my T&I colleagues have made to advance aviation safety.

Heartbroken to learn of the passing of West Michigan's own Marshawn Kneeland. I'm praying for his family during this difficult time. www.fox17online.com/sports/marsh...

Marshawn Kneeland, Dallas Cowboys player and Godwin Heights alum, dies at 24

Marshawn Kneeland, a Godwin Heights High School and Western Michigan Univeristy alum who was playing in the NFL, has passed away at the age of 24.

For millions of Americans who struggle to afford their electric bills, LIHEAP is a lifeline. However, due to the inaction of Congress, this lifeline could be severed. Let’s talk more about LIHEAP on this week’s episode of Straight Talk With Scholten. Watch and subscribe below.

Now, it’s been a few years since I’ve practiced as an attorney, but a basic tenet of our legal system is this: defying a court order is breaking the law. That’s exactly what Trump is doing by withholding funding specifically allocated for SNAP emergencies. The president must release the funds now.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govNov 5(source)

I have a message for President Trump: the money you are withholding from the SNAP program is not yours to withhold. It belongs to the American taxpayers. Release the funds now.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govNov 4(source)

Due to the Admin’s negligent delay in releasing SNAP funds, 42 million Americans—including 1.4 Michiganders—are feeling the pain. Funding ran out this weekend, and Michigan officials and experts believe that folks may not see their benefits until Wednesday at the earliest. It’s unconscionable.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govNov 4(source)

Make no mistake: Trump is withholding YOUR MONEY to play political games and make Americans suffer more.

The president is not a king. He is not free to disregard the rule of law whenever it becomes politically inconvenient for him. The Trump administration must comply with recent court orders to fund SNAP in November for millions of hungry seniors, children, veterans and the disabled.

These folks deserve our support, and USDA has the appropriate funding to do so. It’s time to take action and fund SNAP.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govNov 3(source)

SNAP supports Michiganders from every corner of our state, and every walk of life. - Nearly 60% are families with children. - Nearly 40% are families with members who are older or disabled. - Over 45% are in working families.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govNov 2(source)

Our small businesses are the cornerstone of our economy, and the government shutdown is hitting them hard. I’m staying in constant conversation with groups like MI SBDC to ensure that their voices are heard and their needs are met during this chaotic moment in our nation’s history.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govNov 2(source)

This week, I held mobile office hours in Muskegon and East Grand Rapids to hear from my neighbors about how the government shutdown is impacting them. I’ll never stop working for all of you, West Michigan.
