We changed the way the government will be funded. We changed the way committees will be formed. We secured votes on term limits, the fair tax, the Texas Border Plan, and so much more.\n\nHere\u2019s what I hope America saw this week:\n\n1. The first one has nothing to do with politics. It\u2019s this: A few voices can make a big difference. This isn\u2019t just about politics. If you\u2019re a mom or a student, a truck driver or a server, if you believe in something and will stand by that belief, you can make a meaningful change.\n\n2. Congress has been broken. From the way we spend money to the way Pelosi consolidated power to the Speakership, it's broken, and House conservatives are working to fix it.\n\n3. It\u2019s better to get things right than to get them quickly.\n\n4. When Congress actually functions as intended, when were all on the Floor debating a path forward, the result is far better for the American people than when governing is done behind closed doors.\n\nThis past week we all delivered on the promises we made to our constituents. They told us Congress is broken, and we promised to work on fixing it. We\u2019ve done just that. But we\u2019ve got more to deliver on. We will work to close the southern border, increase domestic energy production, lower government spending, curb inflation, and so much more.\n\nFrom the Speaker\u2019s office to my more moderate colleagues, even those I\u2019ve exchanged some tough words with, we will all work together to deliver conservative solutions on these issues for the American people.\n\nI want to close by responding to one criticism that has been cast on what took place this week. Joe Biden said this has been embarrassing for Republicans. How sad is it that us governing as the founders intended looks embarrassing to Democrats? It should look like the norm. I\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s embarrassing. 40-year high inflation is embarrassing. 5 million illegals crossing our southern border is embarrassing. Surrendering to ISIS and fleeing Afghanistan is embarrassing. Having a President that can\u2019t finish his sentences is embarrassing.\n\nBut fighting to fix Congress, that\u2019s doing exactly what we promised.\n\nSincerely,\n\nLauren Boebert\n\nMember of Congress", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T23:08:17Z"]], "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://boebert.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-boeberts-full-statement-historic-victories-house-conservatives"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0234331712126732, "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"}
