Ron Estes (R-Kansas) voted against increasing the debt limit by $2.5 trillion.\n\n\"Washington continues to waste taxpayer dollars without any desire to curb spending or live within their means,\" said Rep. Estes. \"Every second, the United States borrows approximately $47,000 \u2013 nearly the median household income for Kansans. Increasing the debt ceiling while also trying to push trillions more in unnecessary spending is irresponsible, which is why I voted against burdening current and future generations with $31,500,000,000,000 in debt.\"\n\nThe Senate passed the debt limit measure 50-49 along party lines, with the House passing the bill 221-209 mostly along party lines.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:37:48Z"]], "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=3271"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6776219233870506, "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"}
