Innovation and sustainability are key to the future of manufacturing in West Michigan. I had the privilege of visiting BENTELER today, a true leader in both areas. Their work is poised to leave a lasting impact on our local economy and industries around the world.

Our nonprofits do such important work for our community. I was pleased to join Michigan Nonprofit Association's Legislative Breakfast this morning to reinforce my commitment to protecting funding for nonprofits here in MI-03.

This is the United States of America–we don't have to stand for the jarring rise of child labor violations happening right before our eyes. That's why I'm leading the Congressional Child Labor Prevention Task Force–a bipartisan initiative that raises penalties for violators of our child labor laws.

On Passover, as Jewish communities retell the story of the Exodus from Egypt, we celebrate their resilience and spirit. Chag Pesach Sameach!

Thanks to our Spring intern cohort from our Washington D.C. office, Marlie, Kendall, and Teuma. West Michigan is grateful for your public service!

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 11(source)

Fortunately, my team and I were able to advocate for the release of this funding. I spoke more about our action at this week’s T&I hearing. Check it out here.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 11(source)

I’m all for spending taxpayer dollars responsibly, but that’s not what DOGE and the Trump Administration are prioritizing. Just last month, more than $16 million in funding for a crucial project at GRR was on hold indefinitely, potentially risking jobs and costing taxpayers MORE.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 11(source)

I’m a proud member of the Black Maternal Health Caucus and am working hard in Congress with my colleagues to achieve health care equity and community-driven solutions for Black Mamas. #BMHW25

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 11(source)

Black Mamas are 3x more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than white women, and many of these tragic deaths are preventable. This Black Maternal Health Week, we recommit ourselves to fight the maternal mortality crisis facing Black women in our country.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 10(source)

As a Member of @equality.house.gov, I’m committed to fighting for young people’s right to a robust health education and to protecting their access to preventative care to reduce the spread of HIV. #NYHAAD

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 10(source)

It’s so crucial to keep our nation on the cutting edge, and I loved seeing CTA Tech’s exhibit with the latest and greatest in cars, software, and technological innovation from businesses big and small.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 10(source)

The SAVE Act would make voting nearly impossible for millions of women, service members, Native Americans, and more. I’m deeply disturbed by this attack on one of our most fundamental rights.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 10(source)

Our nation’s history has proven that creating barriers that make it harder for Americans to vote is harmful and undemocratic. But as we saw today, House Republicans seem to have forgotten that history.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 9(source)

The budget proposal we’re voting on is BAD for everyday Americans. The only people it benefits are the top 1% — the billionaire buddies of our billionaire president. Let’s talk about it.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 9(source)

Republicans are RAISING costs for everyday Americans. They just voted to RAISE overdraft fees on folks trying to put food on the table or make it to the next paycheck. This bill puts big banks and their wealthy CEOs ahead of consumers – including service members, veterans, and families.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 9(source)

The leaders at the African American Alliance of CDFI CEOs are empowering Black CEOs across the country to soar to their full potential. Their meaningful work is so important for our Black business owners. Great to meet with them today!

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 9(source)

I’m wearing turquoise today to stand with the American Lung Association’s LUNG FORCE initiative to fight lung cancer. I’m proud to stand up against funding cuts to health research that would impact prevention, detection, and treatment of this disease.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govApr 9(source)

My district office phones are experiencing technical difficulties. We are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. If you need to reach my office, please call 202-225-3831 or visit scholten.house.gov.

Always great to catch up with student leaders from GVSU! I’m working hard to protect crucial funding for our institutions of higher education so future generations have what they need to succeed.
