Food security is national security.\u201d\n\n\u201cRight now, Americans are justifiably frustrated by the higher prices they\u2019re experiencing \u2013 whether that\u2019s families checking out at the grocery store or farmers and business owners struggling with higher input costs,\u201d said Representative Angie Craig (D-MN). \u201cIn Congress, we must take immediate action to get products from ships to shelves faster \u2013 and to rebuild and strengthen our supply chains for future generations. I\u2019m proud to lead my colleagues on both sides of the aisle in introducing this commonsense legislation to stabilize and strengthen America\u2019s supply chains.\u201d\n\nThe task force would be responsible for identifying specific recommendations to improve the security and safety of the supply chain. The task force would be required to submit a report detailing its work and recommendations to Congress no later than 270 days after the enactment of the bill.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:29:07Z"]], "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://dustyjohnson.house.gov/media/press-releases/johnson-introduces-bill-address-cracks-supply-chain"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9846198372542858, "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"}
