This #InternationalWorkersDay, let’s reaffirm our commitment to supporting workers in ways that matter: ✅Guaranteeing paid leave for those who need it ✅Providing affordable, accessible childcare for working parents ✅Allowing unobstructed access to unions

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govMay 1(source)

...And more. I’ll always stand alongside our workers in the fight for better rights, fair wages, and safe work environments.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 30(source)

It’s always a pleasure to host some of West Michigan’s best and brightest here in Washington. Thanks to the students from Kelloggsville High School for your interest in civic engagement, our country needs young leaders like you all!

I’m working hard to support manufacturing jobs and businesses back home in West Michigan so more of our parts and products can be American-made. I shared a productive conversation today with members of One Voice for Manufacturing, a leading voice for small- and medium-sized manufacturers.

Unprecedented. The economy actually SHRANK in President Trump's first 100 days. And he says he's "just getting started." We can't afford it. I'm fighting for the fiscal and governmental reforms Americans want and doing it in a responsible, pro-growth manner. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

❌ 100 days of chaos. ❌ 100 days of harm. ❌ 100 days of turning his back on West Michiganders in favor of his billionaire buddies. President Trump’s first 100 days in office have been nothing short of historic – just not for the reasons he wants you to think.

Today, I spoke with breast cancer advocates from Michigan to hear their stories and keep up the fight to better prevent, diagnose, and treat breast cancer.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 30(source)

As cancer research funding is being threatened by the Trump Administration, I’m doubling down on my efforts to protect the crucial funds helping to increase the survival rate of diseases like breast cancer. 🧵

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 29(source)

In Trump’s first 100 days, he’s sown chaos and destruction at home and abroad. Today, he’s in Michigan hoping folks turn a blind eye to the damage he’s doing to our state. I won’t stand for it. I’m here at the People’s House doing my job: putting a check on his power.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 29(source)

I’m working to ensure West Michigan’s priorities are secured in the upcoming surface reauthorization bill and fight for transportation trade workers across MI-03 and the country as a whole.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 29(source)

As a @transportdems.bsky.social member and transportation workforce advocate, it was great to meet with @aflcio.org’s Transportation Trades President, Greg Regan. 🧵

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 29(source)

Our nation was founded on the idea that we are ALL created equal and deserving of equal protection under the law. That foundation is why I'm committed to passing the #EqualityAct into law — to ensure EVERY American has a fair shot at success, no matter who they are or who they love.

"This week, Trump marks 100 days...we know that means 100 harms." @scholten.house.gov highlights how Trump's policies during his first 100 days in office have harmed Michigan's climate #100Days100Harms.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 29(source)

We’re back in Washington after a productive two-week work period in the district, and I’m ready to get to work. This week marks Trump’s 100th day in office, and I’m continuing my work to push back on his policies that harm West Michiganders. Keep tuning in here for more updates.

From the shores of our Great Lakes to our beautiful natural parks, West Michigan has so much to offer, which is why we must fight to protect it. Glad to join @lcv.org's Earth Day Rally in the fight to protect our environment. Thank you for having me!

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 26(source)

I was honored to award the Medal of Merit to these incredible young West Michiganders today who have helped support their peers and community. 🏅 When I meet students like you, I’m reminded that our future is in very good hands!

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 26(source)

It was great to tour their #MI03 facility and discuss how we can further support businesses, sustainability, and West Michigan's workforce.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 26(source)

Kamps Pallets is a prime example of Michigan innovation in action! From dumpster diving to a thriving billion dollar business - this amazing family owned business keeps our stuff moving and pallets out of landfills.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 26(source)

Trump’s attempts to gut programs like Head Start are a direct attack on Michiganders’ futures. I had a great visit with Head Start Kent County to see the work they’re doing to support our children and families. I’ll keep fighting to ensure these essential programs remain fully funded.
