The Brandon Road project is a $1.15 billion federal-local partnership intended to stop the continued spread of invasive carp up the Mississippi River Basin toward the Great Lakes. The project has received support from President Trump, who signed a presidential memorandum in 2025 directing federal agencies to expedite support and infrastructure for the project.\n\n\u201cThe Great Lakes are one of our region\u2019s greatest assets, and we have a responsibility to protect them. That means taking the threat of invasive carp seriously and making sure the Brandon Road Interbasin Project moves forward. The Great Lakes Task Force Co-Chairs and I sent letters to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Army Corps urging them to lift the stop-work order, while I also spoke directly with OMB Director Russell Vought about the project. I appreciate the Director\u2019s attention to this issue and his willingness to work with us. I will continue working with my colleagues and the Administration to find a path forward that protects the Great Lakes and the communities that rely on them.\u201d\n\n\u201cAddressing the threat of invasive carp is about more than one project. It is about preserving a resource that defines our region and supports millions of people. We have an opportunity to get this right, and we should seize it.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-09-05T08:49:07Z", "2026-09-05T08:50:44Z"]], "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://joyce.house.gov/posts/congressman-joyce-releases-statement-as-work-resumes-on-brandon-road-project"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7612702213227749, "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"}
