I’m deeply concerned about [tag] USDA canelling $500 million in deliveries to food banks, and am leading a group of 43 members of Congress to call on [tag] Sec. Rollins to fully reinstate this crucial funding and support American families, farmers, and food banks.
Millions of Americans rely on food banks to be able to put healthy food on their tables, and countless more will soon have to do so thanks to Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill.”
I’m all for increasing access to fresh, healthy foods, and the new Godwin Mercado is going to do just that for our Wyoming community! Today, we cut the ribbons on their new facility, which will welcome in local vendors, food trucks, a farmer’s market, and more.
We’ve seen how devastating PFAS and forever chemicals are to humans, animals, and our environment. It’s time to eradicate PFAS once and for all—starting with containment. I’m proud to lead a bipartisan effort to ensure our municipalities can target and eradicate PFAS contamination in our waterways.
Investing in modernizing our road infrastructure is crucial to moving West Michigan forward. As a T&I member, I’m committed to supporting projects like the US-131 improvements in Byron Township. So excited to see all the progress that’s being made up close! I can’t wait to see this when it’s done.
Managing our community’s sewer authorities is a deeply important job. Thanks to our partners at North Kent Sewer Authority and Plainfield Township for a great tour of the North Kent facilities, and a great chat about the important work to keep contaminants — including PFAS — out of our water.
Nothing quite like an ice cream social with MI AARP to celebrate 90 years of Social Security! We must continue working to protect the Social Security benefits that Americans work their entire lives to earn.
Michigan-based and made in America — that’s the Andronaco way! I enjoyed touring their facilities in Kentwood to learn more about their day-to-day operations and voice my support for our domestic manufacturing industry.
We're putting your federal tax dollars to work in Wyoming! The streamside buffer program, which protects Buck Creek (a tributary of the Grand River and Lake Michigan) from erosion and pollutants, was made possible by a grant from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
On this day 90 years ago, FDR signed Social Security into law, so all Americans can retire with dignity. Nine decades later, Social Security has never missed a payment, and I’m working to protect these crucial benefits for millions of Americans. #SocSec90
When it comes to our national security, I’m all for our defense vehicles being made in America—and even better—made in West Michigan. RENK, a Muskegon-based manufacturer, employs hundreds of community members, including veterans, and is working hard to keep our nation secure & troops well-equipped.
Another great town hall in the books! Thanks to those who joined me in Muskegon for my seniors town hall, part of my Scholten Summer Town Hall Series. I’m continuing to work for our senior neighbors to ensure that they have what they need to live out their golden years with ease.
So proud to join Sen Brinks, and the MI Women's Commission for the Menopause: It’s A Movement Panel, where we highlighted the importance of funding women’s health research, making health care accessible for all, and ensuring that women feel heard in their health care decisions.
Women’s health isn’t taboo. But let me tell ya, it sure feels that way sometimes! I think it’s safe to say, I’m the first West Michigan member of Congress to kick off a menopause event!

Our educators are facing tons of instability after Trump gutted the Department of Education, but Gov. Whitmer, Michigan Senate Majority Leader Brinks, and I are rock steady in our support for Michigan’s teachers and public schools.
