Cleaver\u2019s Statement in Support of Continuing Resolution to Avoid Another Senseless Shutdown", "2024-01-18", "2024", "2024-01", "Democrat", "House", "MO", "Emanuel Cleaver", "C001061", "cleaver.house.gov", "cleaver", "https://cleaver.house.gov/media-center/press-releases", "scraper", "(Washington, D.C.) \u2013 Today, U.S. Representative Emanuel Cleaver, II (D-MO) released the following statement after the House of Representatives passed another Continuing Resolution to keep the government open and avoid a senseless shutdown.\n\n\u201cDue to a minor procedure on my knee, I was unable to vote for the Continuing Resolution that was passed by the House of Representatives and U.S. Senate earlier this afternoon. While I have always said that Continuing Resolutions are an awful way to govern, a shutdown of the federal government\u2014and all the critical services it provides to America\u2019s children, families, and seniors\u2014is simply unacceptable.\n\n\u201cFor that reason, I would have supported the legislation to prevent another harmful shutdown had I voted today. Now, it is imperative that lawmakers across the political spectrum come together, negotiate in good-faith, and pass a bipartisan budget that will meet the needs of our communities. I look forward assisting in achieving that goal when the House returns to Washington.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T23:46:48Z"]], "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://cleaver.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/rep-cleavers-statement-support-continuing-resolution-avoid-another"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9637209586799145, "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"}
