Lisa McClain. \u201cPresident Biden will do anything to appease the radicals in his party rather than defend the success of women's athletics and Title IX. Our daughters deserve better, and we owe it to them to fight for the sanctity of women\u2019s sports.\u201d\n\nThis year, Title IX celebrates 51 years since being signed into law, and women\u2019s sports are under more heat than we've seen in a half-century. Title IX was meant to give women fair ground for competition, where they could succeed and showcase their skills amongst themselves. Biological men have no space in women\u2019s sports, and House Republicans are committed to standing up for our daughters, female athletes, and Title IX.\n\nWatch the press conference here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "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://mcclain.house.gov/2023/12/importance-of-protecting-female-athletics-and-title-ix"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9031388908624649, "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"}
