Washington\u2019s irresponsible spending of Americans' hard-earned tax dollars is jeopardizing our nation's security. It simply has to stop.\n\n\u201cI\u2019m grateful to Chairman Arrington and Congressman Bergman for appointing me to be a member of the Oversight Task Force to tackle one of our country\u2019s most significant challenges, and I look forward to helping correct the Swamp\u2019s math problem that I hear so much about from Western North Carolinians.\u201d\n\nChairman Arrington said, \u201cCongressman Edwards\u2019 business background and common sense have been invaluable in developing our balanced budget. Chuck understands that we must rein in Washington\u2019s reckless spending and promote economic growth if we are to preserve the freedoms and opportunities for the next generation of Americans.\u201d\n\nMembers of the Oversight Task Force include:", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "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://edwards.house.gov/media/press-releases/edwards-appointed-budget-committee-oversight-task-force"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.442963257431984, "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"}
