She is a deeply engaged public servant who has consistently shown up for her constituents in the 6th District.\n\n\"She\u2019s been a tireless champion for working families, caregivers, and teachers. She has also been a close friend and a mentor \u2014 someone I could always count on to get the work done.\n\n\"When I was deciding who I wanted to sponsor my bills in the House, I went to Deb. When I introduced the Healthy Delaware Families Act in the State Senate, Deb led it in the House \u2014 and together, we got it across the finish line, delivering paid family and medical leave for our neighbors across Delaware.\n\n\"Today, I thank Deb for her years of service and partnership, and I wish her all the best as she begins her next chapter.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-06-19T06:50:32Z", "2026-06-19T06:53:40Z"]], "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://mcbride.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-mcbride-statement-state-rep-debra-heffernans-retirement"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8938121609389782, "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"}
