Only woke politics, which is running rampant in the Biden Administration, would allow students to compete based on their stated gender identity rather than their biological sex. Women and girls\u2019 sports must be protected from woke identity politics and I was proud to vote yes on the Protection of Women and Girls Act which will make it a violation for a recipient of federal funds to permit a person whose sex is male, to participate in an athletic program or activity that is designated for women or girls.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T23:44:29Z"]], "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://harris.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-harris-releases-statement-after-voting-yes-protection-women-and"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9278408251702785, "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"}
