She emphasized her dedication to securing essential funding for research and treatment, especially on World Parkinson’s Day.

Later that day, Scholten later informed her West Michigan constituents about upcoming enhancements to her newsletter. "West Michigan, I'm always working with my team to find ways to serve you better," she wrote, encouraging followers to subscribe and stay informed about regional updates and initiatives.
