Hillary Scholten, currently serving as the U.S. Congresswoman for Michigan’s 3rd district, shared a series of statements on March 25, 2025, addressing key legislative and policy issues through her social media platform.

In one of her posts, she expressed support for the Paycheck Fairness Act on Equal Pay Day. Scholten stated: "Everyone deserves equal pay for equal work. Period." She joined colleagues in the Democratic Women's Caucus to advocate for fair wages for women.

Later that day, Scholten commented on recent changes within the United States Postal Service (USPS). Following the resignation of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, she remarked: "West Michiganders see the writing on the wall: Louis DeJoy caused harm to @USPS & postal workers nationwide." Scholten emphasized the need for a successor who would prioritize essential services and postal workers' welfare.

In another post from March 25, Scholten criticized certain legislative priorities. She noted: "Once again… my Republican colleagues spent precious legislative time on the rights of your fridge and freezer rather than real legislative business." Scholten raised concerns about potential cost increases and environmental setbacks due to these measures.
