The legislation, which passed in the U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 341-82, fails to reduce government spending, protect the integrity of the upcoming U.S. election, or tackle America\u2019s $35 trillion debt. Rep. Mann released the following statement after the vote.\n\n\u201cI did not come to Congress to be a caretaker in the slow demise of America,\u201d said Rep. Mann. \u201cOur country currently has $35 trillion in debt that our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren will be responsible for. We cannot continue to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results. Kansans regularly tell me that the economy and the federal government\u2019s reckless spending are two of their top concerns. I will not contribute to the decimation of America\u2019s fiscal house by supporting spending bills that fail to prioritize the real needs of America. It is Congress\u2019 job to pass 12 individual appropriations bills each year to fund the government. We must return to regular order, stop kicking the can down the road, and do our job.\u201d\n\nIn March 2024, Rep. Mann voted against H.R. 1061, the first part of a $1.66 trillion spending package. Mann also opposed the second vehicle in the spending package that further exceeded spending caps and ballooned the national debt.\n\nH.R. 9747 will now go to the U.S. Senate for further consideration.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"]], "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://mann.house.gov/media/press-releases/mann-rejects-continuation-fiscal-insanity"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.3161929566413164, "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"}
