I will fight in Congress for resources for law enforcement, oversight and accountability, and expanded opportunities such as education and jobs to help curb violent crime.

Representative Scholten’s FY25/FY26 Community Project Funding requests include a Kent County Real Time Intelligence Center requested at $750,000 to support law enforcement efforts in crime prevention, investigation, and response, and a Grand Rapids Urban League Youth Development Center request that includes violence prevention, academic support, career development, vocational training, and job placement.

This is direct evidence that Scholten sought federal resources for law enforcement support plus education, jobs, and violence-prevention programming.

Scholten said she directly advocated to the Secretary of Education for the release of $600,000 in held-up federal funds for the Boys & Girls Club of the Muskegon Lakeshore, and the funding was released shortly afterward.

This is direct evidence of advocacy for education-related resources rather than a completed anti-violence law or federal law-enforcement package.

Scholten announced more than $11 million for a restoration project and said it would improve public safety, restore habitat, and enhance river access and use, framing it as an investment with public-safety and economic-development benefits.

This is supporting evidence of public-safety and economic-development advocacy, but it is not a direct law-enforcement or violent-crime measure.
