On September 23, 2025, Scholten praised a local educational institution by posting, "At a time when aviation professionals are needed more than ever, the West Michigan Aviation Academy is a huge asset to our community and our nation. It’s a launching pad for high schoolers interested in the aviation field, allowing them to SOAR to new heights. Always great to https://t.co/ZVDgc9syBE".

The following day, September 24, 2025, she addressed concerns over potential government shutdowns and congressional responsibilities. In her post, Scholten stated, "Congress must get back to work to fund the government ahead of the looming shutdown deadline. @RepGabeVasquez and I are leading @HouseDemocrats who are ready to return to Washington for the American people. https://t.co/LC7SO35noC".
