Congresswoman Hillary Scholten, representing Michigan's 3rd district since 2023, recently took to social media to express her views on legislative matters and engage with her constituents. Her recent tweets address both a contentious bill and an upcoming virtual town hall aimed at local business owners.

On May 21, 2025, Scholten criticized a bill supported by the House GOP. She stated, "While @HouseGOP tries to hide their unpopular bill in the dark of night, we're bringing the truth to light: it would hurt everyday Americans while adding trillions to our national debt." Scholten emphasized that this move contradicts the GOP's reputation as the party of fiscal responsibility.

Later that day, Scholten announced an upcoming virtual town hall for small business owners and entrepreneurs scheduled for the following day. She tweeted, "REMINDER: I’ll be holding a virtual town hall for small business owners and entrepreneurs tomorrow." She mentioned discussing economic policy and tariffs while addressing questions from West Michigan business owners. More information about the event was provided through a link in her tweet.

In another tweet posted shortly after, she reiterated details about the virtual town hall. She again invited participants by stating, "REMINDER: I’ll be holding a virtual town hall for small business owners and entrepreneurs tomorrow." The focus remained on economic policies relevant to local businesses.

Hillary Scholten was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1982 and currently resides there. She graduated from Gordon College in 2004 with a BA and later earned a JD from the University of Maryland, Baltimore in 2011.
