Congresswoman Hillary Scholten, who represents Michigan’s 3rd district in the U.S. Congress, recently shared updates on her official X (formerly Twitter) account about community engagement and upcoming events.

On March 29, 2026, Scholten posted about her meeting with the Michigan State Bar Foundation to discuss improving legal access for residents across the state. She wrote, “When people are facing eviction, navigating family issues, or trying to access benefits, having legal help matters. I appreciated the chance to sit down with the Michigan State Bar Foundation to talk about how we can strengthen access to justice across Michigan.”

The following day, March 30, she expressed support for Detroit’s baseball team as a new season began: “Nothing like a baseball game in the spring. Wishing the Detroit Tigers a great season ahead! “

Later that same day, Scholten reminded constituents of an important deadline: “The deadline for the Congressional Art Competition is Wednesday! Last chance to submit your art work for this year’s competition.”

Hillary Scholten has served in Congress since 2023 after succeeding Peter Meijer as representative of Michigan’s 3rd district. Born in Grand Rapids in 1982 and currently residing there at age 41, Scholten holds degrees from Gordon College and the University of Maryland School of Law.
