Families are worried about the safety of their children because our cities are riddled with crime, and fentanyl is flooding across our borders. Americans are anxious about the future because out-of-control spending threatens to bankrupt our nation. Additionally, weak leadership has jeopardized our national security.\n\nAll of this is happening at a time when our nation is the most divided it has been in nearly 160 years.\n\nIf we ignore these issues, America will decline into the footnotes of history. This doesn\u2019t need to be our future, but how do we change our course? It starts with steady, conservative leadership.\n\nThat\u2019s what Republicans can offer the country, if we come together and unite behind new leadership and a common vision in the House of Representatives focusing on the things that matter to the American people. The things that matter to our future.\n\nThe Republican majority must be willing to make the reforms necessary to ensure fiscal responsibility and restore people\u2019s faith in their government \u2013 and in us as their elected representatives. We cannot do this until we are united as Republicans and get back to serving the people who sent us to Washington to defend and advance their interests and not our own.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"]], "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://palmer.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/palmer-announces-run-speaker-house-promotes-steady-conservative"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4706971123814583, "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"}
