May 6: Congresswoman Hillary Scholten, Moms, and Community Leaders Celebrate Health and Economic Benefits of Energy Bills Relief Act

email Email Linkfacebook Share on Facebooktwitter Share on X

Press Statement April 30, 2026

CONTACT: DKC News, MomsCleanAirForce@dkcnews.com 

WHAT: Congresswoman Hillary Scholten will join Moms Clean Air Force and community leaders in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Wednesday, May 6 to highlight how the Energy Bills Relief Act restores support for clean energy, lowers costs for ratepayers, protects public health, strengthens our energy infrastructure, and combats the climate crisis.

The legislation will help save families money by expanding access to affordable energy, preventing ratepayers from subsidizing outdated and costly power plants, modernizing our electrical grid, and requiring large energy users, including data centers, to pay their fair share.

Families across the country are already struggling to pay their utility bills. Expanding access to affordable, clean energy is one of the most effective ways Congress can lower costs and provide relief.

Register HERE to tune in virtually, or watch the livestream on Moms Clean Air Force’s YouTube.

To attend in person, please email Danielle Berkowitz-Sklar at dberkowitzsklar@momscleanairforce.org.

WHO:

  • Congresswoman Hillary Scholten, U.S. Representative (MI-03)
  • Elizabeth Hauptman, Michigan Field Organizer, Moms Clean Air Force
  • Erica Bouldin, Engagement Coordinator, Michigan Climate Action Network
  • Samantha Pickering, Policy Manager, Public & Environmental Health, Michigan Environmental Council
  • Brett Vredevoogd, Eco Equity Real Estate, Grand Rapids Realtor and Sustainable Housing Advocate

WHEN: Wednesday, May 6 at 12pm EDT

WHERE: John Ball Area Neighbors (1120 Bridge St NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49504).

Email Danielle Berkowitz-Sklar (dberkowitzsklar@momscleanairforce.org) to attend in-person, or sign up for the livestream HERE. The livestream will also be available on Moms Clean Air Force’s YouTube.
