My statement on Republican lawmakers' request that the DOJ oversee Michigan's 2026 elections:
Yesterday at the Democratic Women’s Caucus, I reaffirmed my commitment to West Michigan: your health care is not up for negotiation.
I voted against the reopening deal because it left families behind. I’ll keep fighting for affordable, accessible care — no matter what.
My statement from last night on the swearing in of Congresswoman Adelita Grijavla and our mission to release the Epstein Files. We press on–keeping the victims and their families top of mind in all of this.
Last week I caught up with West Michigan paramedics at my Washington office to voice my continued support for their important work and ensure they feel supported to serve our community.
Today we honor all who’ve served – especially the veterans here in West Michigan who continue to strengthen our communities every day. Thank you for your courage, service, and sacrifice.
I was so proud to help pass a bill to rename the Comstock Park Post Office in his honor.
We are the home of the free because of the brave.
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...

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...
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...
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.
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.
