When Congresswoman Hillary Scholten worked for the US Department of Justice during the Obama administration, she took an oath to uphold our Constitution and consistently worked to create fair and moral laws. Now, she’s continuing this service as West Michigan’s voice in Congress, where she has worked tirelessly to restore commonsense leadership for the greater good.

As a mom and an engaged member of her community, Congresswoman Scholten is familiar with the devastating realities of gun violence, and she deeply understands the important role of commonsense gun laws in ensuring that our schools, grocery stores, movie theaters, and places of worship are safe for everyone. This issue is personal to her, too—tragically, she once came home from dropping her sons off at school to find out a neighbor and friend had become a victim of gun violence. Representative Scholten knows that her personal loss is far too familiar for so many Americans, and in office she’s been tireless in her fight to tackle our country’s epidemic of violence as a member of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force. She’s been a fervent supporter of lifesaving measures like expanding universal background checks to all gun sales, establishing extreme risk protection order laws, and getting ghost guns off the streets—all of which are supported by responsible gun owners.

West Michiganders need real leadership in Washington DC, and with so much on the line this fall, it’s imperative that they reelect a champion for their safety in Congresswoman Hillary Scholten. We know she will always find the courage to act on this issue, and her leadership will help pave the way for a safer future for the children and families desperately calling for action on gun violence.

We are proud to endorse Hillary Scholten for the US House of Representatives.
