Scholten scrubs bail reform from website

September 28, 2022

Fox News highlighted Hillary Scholten’s decision to scrub her support for pro-criminal policies from her campaign website:

Fox News: “During her 2020 campaign to represent the district, Scholten said through her website she would be “proud to work for positive bail reform so that financially vulnerable people aren’t unfairly criminalized at higher rates” and suggested that it was time to “rethink how we’re keeping our communities safe, who we’re incarcerating, and what that period of incarceration looks like. As of September 2022, the ‘priorities’ section of Scholten’s website noticeably does not include any content related to criminal justice reform.”

NRCC Comment: “Hillary Scholten isn’t going to be able to hide her support for pro-criminal policies from Michigan voters.” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Berg
