Proud West Michigander, mother of two, and former DOJ attorney. Congresswoman for Michigan’s Third District. Follow my official office @RepScholten.
I set out to build a new political home in West Michigan, and with this decisive victory, we've proven that what we made is built to last. It truly is a new day in West Michigan. It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve you in Congress, and I'm ready to get back to work.…

For those of you watching the drama in Washington at home and wondering what in the world is happening, here’s the TLDR from the ground. 🧵 Republicans do not have the votes to pass their own bill, but they are keeping the vote open nonetheless because they are hoping to wait…
Found in House Republican conference: 219 able-bodied adults who refuse to work.
Breaking News: Speaker Mike Johnson said he would shut down the House until September to block a vote on calling for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. nyti.ms/4nZtblR
While Trump is focused on tearing families apart, Americans are once again making it clear that costs are TOO high. We need to focus on real solutions to make life more affordable for families – not extremist stunts that do nothing to lower prices. cbsnews.com/news/cbs-news-…
Why are House Republicans fighting so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein? It’s weird, right?
NEWS: Republican members of the House Rules Committee met with @SpeakerJohnson this morning. They are frustrated that Democrats on the Rules Committee are offering amendments on the JEFFREY EPSTEIN situation. Republicans are expected to vote these amendments down to ensure…
Inflation is rising again, thanks to Trump’s reckless tariffs. West Michigan families are already stretched thin, and Trump's unnecessary trade war is only making life more expensive. That's why I founded the Lowering Costs Caucus—to fight for real relief. nytimes.com/2025/07/15/bus…
Because people want to know the truth! Why won't @HouseGOP stand up to Trump for the American people and demand he release the files? What are they hiding?
Epstein is the first thing I've seen where a meaningful share of Trump voters are actually willing to say they disagree with Dear Leader
We’re going to retake the majority in 2026, and we’re going to do it here in Michigan. detroitnews.com/story/news/pol…
Great day on the Lakeshore at the annual Ottawa Dems Picnic. After talking with many passionate voters, I took my good friend, Haley Stevens, to Captain Sundae. Such a perfect day for gearing up to win BIG in 2026!

We are not a nation of kings. We are a democracy. But democracy doesn’t protect itself–we have to protect it. Thank you to the @NatlDemSummer fellows who joined me yesterday to talk about how to get involved and stand up for our democracy.
The affordability crisis is crushing the American dream. It’s about to get a lot worse for Michiganders thanks to Trump and @HouseGOP. mlive.com/news/2025/07/w…
Today is a reminder that patriotism is not just about celebrating our freedoms, it’s protecting them and doing the hard work of fulfilling America’s promise. It was an honor to join the Fourth of July parade at Hollyhock—one of West Michigan’s most beloved traditions!

Jeffries: I've heard a lot from my Republican colleagues who have expressed pride in this accomplishment. I ask the question if Republicans were so proud of this one big ugly bill, why did the debate begin at 328 AM in the morning?
House Republicans are frozen right now as they can't get their own members in the majority to agree to proceed on their ‘Big Beautiful Bill.’ Here's some advice: if you have to think this hard about taking healthcare away from millions of Americans… don’t.
HOUSE REPUBLICANS are telling members to go back to their offices. It does not look like a vote on the rule is imminent.
Trump's 'Big Ugly Bill' will not only cut funding for crucial programs like Medicaid and SNAP, it's just plain dangerous. Fiscal experts agree: this bill will cripple our economy and make life more expensive for everyday Americans.
Right now, @HouseDemocrats are fighting back against the Big Ugly Bill by testifying on nearly 400 amendments to protect healthcare and lower costs for working Americans. We are “fixing” it for you, @lisamurkowski!
At 1:30pm, the committee will hold an emergency meeting to consider Trump's dangerous GOP Tax Scam—a bill that guts Medicaid, cuts SNAP, and will lead to the largest transfer of wealth from poor to rich in American history. 📺 Tune in to watch the debate: youtube.com/watch?v=cg7LHc…
As Pride Month comes to a close, my commitment to equality and justice for the LGBTQ+ community remains stronger than ever. In West Michigan and across the country, love is love–this month and every month. 🏳️🌈
We heard Trump’s campaign promises to lower costs on DAY ONE. After 158 days, what have we seen? Prices are still RISING. @DerekTranCA45 & I joined Morning Joe today to talk about our new Lowering Costs Caucus & how we’re focused on tackling the affordability crisis—for REAL.
🎉 Happy birthday to my friend and colleague @HaleyforMI! Proud to work with you to fight for Michigan's families, manufacturing, and future.
