Garone Post Office, in honor of the late Chief Edward B. Garone who served as Chief of Police in Derry for 50 years and as a law enforcement officer in New Hampshire for 58 years. Ahead of the vote, Pappas spoke on the House floor to share the impact Chief Garone had on his community throughout his career, the importance of honoring his legacy, and to urge his colleagues to support this legislation.\n\n\u201cChief Edward Garone served his country, state, and community as a Marine, as a police officer in New Hampshire for 58 years, and as Chief of Police in Derry for 50 years,\u201d said Congressman Pappas. \u201cHe worked tirelessly to ensure the safety of citizens and the officers he oversaw and to build a better, stronger, safer Derry. The naming of this Post Office is one small way we can continue to honor his legacy of leadership, professionalism, and excellence in service to the community. Today, I\u2019m thinking of his friends, family, and especially his wife, Blanche, and on behalf of my constituents in New Hampshire\u2019s First Congressional District, I applaud the passage of this legislation to pay tribute to Chief Garone, a man who embodied the very best of the Granite State.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:11:47Z"]], "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://pappas.house.gov/media/press-releases/pappas-s-legislation-to-designate-chief-edward-b-garone-post-office-in-east-derry-passes-house"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7523549720644951, "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"}
