The 4th Congressional District is one of the most resource-rich districts in the United States,\u201d McClintock said. \u201cI will work hard to make sure those resources are used wisely to help restore economic prosperity to the people of our community. Too often the federal government has prevented our people from benefiting from the water, timber and mineral resources in our area, and I intend to work with local businesses and leaders to tap these assets and help create jobs and economic opportunity in these tough economic times.\u201d\n\nMcClintock has also been appointed to the House Committee on Education & Labor. The committee has jurisdiction over education and workplace issues. \u201cThe Education and Labor Committee will be ground zero in the debate over federal encroachment into local schools and businesses and I look forward to joining that battle,\u201d McClintock said.\n\n-30-", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T21:14:17Z"]], "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://mcclintock.house.gov/newsroom/press-releases/congressman-tom-mcclintock-appointed-to-resources-committee-and-education"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.711114076897502, "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"}
