Jim Costa (CA-16) released the following statement after the Senate passed the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act with language to assist in reducing the impacts of California\u2019s drought crisis and to build additional long-term drought resiliency.\n\u201cThe passage of this legislation in both the House and Senate is significant for the entire state of California,\u201d said Rep. Jim Costa. \u201cWith the enactment of this bill, California can begin to repair its broken water system and more water will be delivered to Valley agriculture and communities. My House and Senate colleagues and the people of the Valley have fought long and hard to get this legislation passed out of both chambers. Finally, drought stricken communities, farmers, and farm workers will feel some relief. I hope the President acts swiftly and signs the legislation as soon as possible.\u201d\u00a0\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://costa.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/costa-applauds-senate-passage-california-water-bill"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.2734737247228622, "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"}
