Hillary Scholten (MI-03) hosted her inaugural telephone town hall from her Washington, D.C. office. Roughly 4,000 West Michiganders joined the call for updates on the Speaker of the House race, the Israel-Hamas war, the appropriations process, and other issues facing the country.\n\n\u201cThere\u2019s nothing more important to me in this work than being accessible and responsive to West Michiganders. As we face unprecedented challenges both at home and abroad, it was an honor to speak with people directly to answer their questions and hear their concerns,\u201d said Rep. Scholten.\u201cI look forward to hosting more town halls \u2013 both in person and over the phone \u2013 in the future and will continue working to make sure West Michiganders\u2019 voices are heard in Washington.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://scholten.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-scholten-hosts-inaugural-telephone-town-hall-speakers-race-israel-hamas"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8193859830498695, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
