I\u2019m heartbroken for the families who lost loved ones. For the folks waking up to damage they can\u2019t afford to fix. For the people still waiting on the lights to come back on. This is a heavy moment for our region, and we\u2019re feeling it together.\n\nI want to thank our first responders, utility workers, and neighbors who jumped into action to help. My team has been in touch with local officials, state and federal partners, and we\u2019re ready to do everything we can to support the response and the recovery.\n\nThis can\u2019t just be about picking up the pieces\u2014we\u2019ve got to make our infrastructure stronger, invest in resilience, and make sure our communities are better prepared for the next time.\n\nTo everyone hurting right now: you\u2019re not alone. We're in this together, we\u2019ll clean up together, and we\u2019ll fight together to make sure St. Louis comes back stronger than ever.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T00:49:36Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bell.house.gov/media/press-releases/statement-rep-bell-releases-statement-following-devastating-st-louis-storms"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6017332673072815, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
