For over 40 years, Ottawa County Commissioner Roger Bergman has been a public servant, and a true example of how working in a bipartisan fashion is the best way to get things done for West Michiganders. I wish you well in your next chapter, Roger! www.grandhaventribune.com/news/local/c...

Community says farewell to Roger Bergman

The Grand Haven American Legion was bustling with activity Thursday night as a large crowd gathered to offer well-wishes to Roger Bergman.

Michigan put the world on wheels, and the Detroit Auto Show reminds us that we’re STILL doing just that. It’s always a blast seeing the incredible craftsmanship coming out of our home state, knowing that they have the pedal to the metal to lead us to the automotives of tomorrow.

Thrilled to announce two impactful grants from U.S. Dept. of Transportation that will improve our infrastructure, modernize our roadways, and help keep our communities connected. MI-03, I’m always working to bring federal $ back home to YOU!

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

Presidents Ford and Carter forged a deep, true friendship, despite their differences. West Michigan, I work hard every day to carry on President Ford’s legacy and cultivate relationships with anyone who shares my value of delivering for the people of MI-03.

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

“According to a map, it’s a long way between Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Plains, Georgia. But distances have a way of vanishing when measured in values, rather than miles…” What remarkable words from President Ford—we are so much more than our politics.🧵

Start of World of Winter good news for downtown GR businesses

Grand Rapids’ largest winter event is kicking off this week. The World of Winter is a free outdoor event transforming the city into a wonderland.

14 years ago, we lost 6 innocent lives and nearly former Rep. Gabby Giffords, who I’m honored to call my friend. Gabby’s miraculous recovery and work to end gun violence are nothing short of heroic. Today we honor the lives lost in Tucson and recommit to ending gun violence everywhere.

I’m praying for the communities impacted by the fires in Southern California as well as the brave first responders working tirelessly to mitigate the flames. These extreme weather events have become far too frequent due to climate change. We must act now to protect our planet.

Fires tear through Pacific Palisades, Altadena, Pasadena and Sylmar; gusts of up to 100 mph reported

The Eaton fire spread rapidly through Pasadena and Altadena overnight as firefighters also continued to battle the devastating Palisades fire Wednesday morning.

Wesley and I are honored to be here to greet President Jimmy Carter as he makes his final journey to the Capitol where he will lie in state this week.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 6(source)

This year, Democrats trudged through D.C. snowstorms to certify the election, although the results weren’t what we hoped for. (My son Wesley trudged along with me!) I’m proud to be on the side of the aisle that respects our democratic institutions no matter who wins.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 6(source)

Today in Congress, we performed our constitutional duties to certify the results of the 2024 election. Four years ago today, Republicans — unwilling to accept the will of the American people — refused to do the same, and... you know the rest. 🧵

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 6(source)

Today I'm praying for the families of Capitol Police Officers Brian Sicknick and Howard Liebengood, as well as DC Police Officer Jeffrey Smith. They should still be here today. May their legacies be reminders that we must protect our democracy at all costs. www.npr.org/transcripts/...

As Trump rewrites history, victims of the Jan. 6 riot say they feel 'betrayed'

A police officer defended the Capitol from violent rioters on Jan. 6. With President-elect Donald Trump poised to pardon the rioters, he now asks, "what did I risk my life for?"

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 6(source)

Four years ago, we watched as a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to disrupt our democracy. It’s a moment we shouldn't forget. Democracy only works when WE work for it – together. I'm working to protect our democracy and get things done for the people of MI-03.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 6(source)

His tragic passing in a helicopter training exercise last February devastated the West Michigan community. Renaming the post office in his honor now solidifies his legacy for generations to come, and it has been an honor to work with his family to pass this bill.

Rep. Hillary Scholten@scholten.house.govJan 6(source)

HUGE NEWS: H.R. 9285, my bill to rename the Comstock Park Post Office in honor of Captain Miguel Justin Nava was just SIGNED INTO LAW by President Biden. This means so much to our community and Captain Nava's family. A father, husband, and son, he was the absolute best of us. 🧵

How delightful to see two of my favorite things succeeding: the @detroitlionsnfl AND small businesses! When searching for your 1st (or 10th, or 100th… I don’t judge!) piece of Lions memorabilia, consider shopping small to support our local entrepreneurs. www.fox17online.com/sports/detro...

Detroit Lions' record season is good news for local business

The Detroit Lions are in the midst of the best season in franchise history. That means many people are looking for stuff to show their Lions’ pride.
