0.2%

0.2%. That's the share of my Republican opponent's fundraising that came from small-dollar donors. Not 20%. Not 2%. 0.2%. Nearly half her entire campaign war chest came from one source: the DeVos family. Here's what that means in plain terms. My opponent is not running a campaign built o…

Let me ask you something

If nearly half of a candidate's entire campaign came from one family, one billionaire family with a decades-long history of trying to buy Michigan elections, would you call that a grassroots campaign? Neither would I. That's exactly what's happening in MI-03 right now. My Republican opponen…

We can't let the DeVos machine buy this race

The DeVos family is funneling dark money into West Michigan politics. They’re determined to unseat Hillary. They’ve spent decades trying to shape our community to fit their agenda. But Hillary will never stop fighting for West Michigan. The DeVos family can cut enormous checks without bl…

Straight to the point

This is the shortest email you'll receive today. Hillary Scholten is a former DOJ attorney and the first Democrat to win MI-03 in nearly 50 years. She’s now defending it against a Republican opponent bankrolled by the billionaire DeVos family. The path to a Democratic House majority runs throu…

When will enough be enough?

61% of Americans say they've had to cut back on groceries. Let that sink in. More than half the country is skipping items they need, stretching every dollar, and changing plans just to get through a trip to the store. And this administration's response? More tax cuts for billionaires. More tar…

The energy is real!

Last week I had one of the most energizing events we've had yet. West Michiganders showed up ready to roll up their sleeves, organize, and build something real. The enthusiasm reminded me exactly why I launched the Majorities Are Made in Michigan initiative, and why I know we can win. The path…

Here's where things stand, John

$30. That's the average donation Hillary Scholten receives from supporters like you. Some give more. Some give less. But what matters most is that you help us protect MI-03. If you’re able, will you donate $30 or whatever you can to help Hillary defend this seat? If you need more convin…

What kind of future are we leaving them?

This time of year always makes me think about the future. Kids are finishing school, graduating, heading into summer with their whole lives ahead of them. As a mom, I think about what kind of future we are building for them. And I'll be honest, what I see in Washington right now worries me. …

Are you with me?

June is here, and so is the heat. Every day we get closer to November, every day this race gets more competitive, and every day the DeVos family is cutting bigger checks to try to take this seat back. While they're writing six-figure checks to my opponent, we're building something they can't b…

Thank you for your support ♥️

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. The response we've seen from supporters has been incredible. People are fired up, and honestly, it means everything to me as we head into what is going to be a tough fight. This race is not going to be easy, and the road ahead is long. But when …

Someone has to demand action on energy costs

Just recently, I sent a letter to the Trump administration demanding immediate action to lower energy costs for working families. Gas prices have soared more than 30% this year. The national average is now over $4 a gallon, which is up more than a dollar since February. That's the biggest jump in…

Are you a supporter?

We are asking every supporter to check in because this race is at a critical moment, and we need to know who's with us. A DeVos-backed opponent has entered this race and is already raising a lot. This seat could decide the House majority. We're not taking that lightly. Please check your sup…

I'm going to be honest about where this race stands

I'm not going to sugarcoat this. This race is harder than it was six months ago. A well-funded Republican opponent backed by the DeVos family and GOP megadonors has entered the race. She's already raised significant money, and analysts have shifted MI-03 in Republicans' favor. That's not spin.…

The DeVos family thinks they can buy this seat

The DeVos family has a plan for MI-03. They're going to spend whatever it takes to take this seat back, and they're not being subtle about it. Nearly half of Hillary's GOP opponent's entire campaign war chest came from one source: the DeVos family. $105,000. In her first month of campaigning. …

3 reasons this race matters right now

Here's what you need to know about MI-03 right now. 1️⃣ Democrats need to flip just a handful of seats to take back the House. Michigan has five competitive districts. This is one of them. 2️⃣ A new Republican opponent, heavily funded by the DeVos family, has entered this race. Analysts have a…

Someone has to hold them accountable

Every single day, it's something new. They cut Medicaid. They gutted food assistance. They handed out trillions in tax cuts to billionaires while families here in Michigan pay more at the grocery store, at the gas pump, and at the doctor's office. They're threatening Social Security. They're dism…

Hillary's new Republican opponent has already raised $250,000, backed by the DeVos family and outside dark money groups. Political analysts have taken notice. They've shifted this race in Republicans' favor. But here's what's also true: MI-03 has been held by a Democrat for less than four year…
