Ron Estes (R-Kansas) as a Taxpayer Super Hero. This nonprofit organization advocates for the elimination of inefficient government spending.\n\n\u201cCutting wasteful spending and using taxpayers\u2019 money efficiently is a top priority,\u201d said Rep. Estes. \u201cToo often, the government uses the tax dollars of hardworking Kansans to fund ineffective programs.\u201d\n\nThe Council for Citizens Against Government Waste uses members voting records to identify those who helped protect taxpayer dollars. To be considered a Taxpayer Super Hero, one must have a score of 100% \u2013 meaning the member consistently votes in the interest of protecting taxpayer dollars and upholding fiscal responsibility.\n\nCongressman Estes is joined on this list by 80 other members of the House and 10 members of the Senate. An improvement from 2019, with only 27 representatives and six senators making the list.", 1, "2026-04-07T15:39:47Z", "2026-06-28T00:48:43Z"]], "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://estes.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=3001"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8069029320031404, "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"}
