@RepScholten Thank you for your support, @RepScholten, and for visiting the facility today to see the progress on construction!

[Congresswoman Hillary Scholten @RepScholten]

In FY24, I secured a $400K grant for IFF’s Boston Square Early Childhood Center, and it’s incredible to see it in action. 

Early childhood care sets kids up for success for life, and I’m proud to have helped forge a brighter future for our little ones.
