In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“One thing I know that voters in West Michigan have come to rely on is a representative who will speak her mind, speak with authenticity, and show up to answer even sometimes tough questions when they're posed, and that's not something I'm scared to do”

“A lot of it has to do with past associations with Hasan Piker, you know, current statements.”
Michigan Rep. Hillary Scholten Declines To Endorse Abdul El-Sayed Over Hasan Piker AssociationsAug 25, 2026 · Press · VINnews · source
“Abdul has not reached out to me yet. If he would, I would have some questions. I have not endorsed him yet.”
Michigan Rep. Hillary Scholten Declines To Endorse Abdul El-Sayed Over Hasan Piker AssociationsAug 25, 2026 · Press · VINnews · source
“I absolutely do. And I think that condoning behavior like this from candidates like Abdul El-Sayed is taking us in a direction that we don't want to go as a party. I don't need $20 million to study why young men stopped voting for the Democratic Party. Look at the message that we're sending to our veterans if we're willing to embrace or even brush aside comments like that. I would never stand on a stage or be at a rally with someone like Hasan Piker because he chose to say comments like that”

“They support over 241,000 jobs and $16 billion in wages across the country, and generate $23 in economic activity for every taxpayer dollar invested. Despite this incredible rate of return on investment, WBCs face a complete funding cut in upcoming budget packages, which is unacceptable. My bill would protect this critical program and provide the funding it deserves.”
