It means working to find compromise where we can, but fighting for our values where we must.\n\n\u201cMy focus will be on improving people\u2019s lives \u2013 not scoring political points. We can lower food and energy costs for consumers. We can strengthen the farm safety net and open the doors of opportunity to new and beginning farmers. And we can ensure that nutrition assistance programs are available for the Americans who need them.\n\n\u201cAs the granddaughter of an Arkansas farm foreman, as someone who grew up relying on nutrition assistance \u2013 someone who knows firsthand how critical good ag policy is \u2013 I could not be more proud to lead our Caucus as Ranking Member of the Agriculture Committee.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"]], "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://craig.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-angie-craig-elected-ranking-member-house-agriculture-committee"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4606299810111523, "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"}
